**Comment**

The field function can only be used inside the axis title.

.. us.example

**Example**

To create a second x-axis that displays revolution per second add
the following field function to the x axis title:

.. highlight:: none

::

   @f{scaleaxis(Diagram 1, 0.1666, 0, exact)}

.. highlight:: us

where ``Diagram 1`` is the diagram with the x-axis scaled in
revolution per minute.

**Output**

::

   x-Axis Diagram 1 [1/min] = 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000
   x-Axis Diagram 2 [1/s] = 17, 33, 50, 67, 83
