Is there a simple way, besides changing my function to use Degree as input, to display the x-axis in degrees in a plot of a function defined with its independent variable taking radians?

f[range_List, divs_] := {# Pi/180, # Degree} & /@ FindDivisions[range 180/Pi, divs, 10];
plot[g_, range_]:= Plot[g[x], Evaluate@Join[{x}, range], Ticks-> {f[range, 10], Automatic}];
g = Sin;
plot[g, {0, 2 Pi}]

1@Murta The function doesn't work very well. The standard
Plot[]automatic ticks are much more robust. – Dr. belisarius Mar 14 '14 at 00:27 -
Is there a way to keep the nice sub-ticks when replacing the tick labels? – Alexey Bobrick May 02 '16 at 14:08
Plot[f[x Degree],{x,-1,1}], and you can control exactly what is shown on the axis with theTicksoption ofPlot. Theoretically you could do post-processing on theGraphicobject but that seems to me to be overkill. – William Briand Mar 13 '14 at 20:00Degreebut duplicate imo. Also related – Kuba Mar 13 '14 at 20:46
