Makie: Płot a number line

[mschauer]

I just need a number line, like so

Can I free that from the Axis object?

LineAxis is the object that Axis uses. It is missing some defaultattributes without which it will complain, so I’ve set them here. It only works if endpoints are on a horizontal or vertical line:

f = Figure()
MakieLayout.LineAxis(f.scene,
    endpoints = Point2f0[(100, 300), (700, 300)],
    spinecolor = :black,
    labelfont = "Dejavu",
    ticklabelfont = "Dejavu",
    spinevisible = true,
    ticks = Makie.automatic,
    minorticks = IntervalsBetween(5),
    limits = (-1.4, 1.4),
    tickalign = 0.5,
    minortickalign = 0.5,
    ticksize = 15,
    minorticksize = 7.5
)
s = scatter!(f.scene, Point(710, 300, 50), marker = '▴', rotation = -pi/2, markersize = 20)
f
