Well, the axes are useful, the same way they are useful for e.g. a bar plot: one would like to see which fields are in which rows and columns (without having to count them). My use case is showing a similarity matrix, in which I want to see which item in the rows corresponds with which one in the columns.
I don't think the axes make sense at all (certainly not the non-integer intermediates like 2.5), they should just list the cell indices, centred on the cells. I can't personally see a reason why it wouldn't be better to centre the ticks on the cells. Jan-Pieter On Fri, 4 Nov 2022, 14:57 Raul Miller, <rauldmil...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hmm...
