MATLAB: Am I unable to set the new graphic to its original view after zooming on a new subplot

2-d2d3-d3dazimuthelevationgraphmanipulationMATLABobjectoffturnzooming

When I perform the following steps:

1)Create a 3D graphic with the SURF function.

2)Enable zoom with the Zoom In tool.

3)Click the mouse to zoom in.

4)Create in the same figure a 2D-graphic with the PLOT function (a subplot).

5)Zoom on it.

6)Double click this new plot (equivalent to 'Reset to Original View' from context menu).

I expect to get a 2D graphic (the original view) instead of a 3D graphic.

This is expected behavior. The "Original" zoom state is on a per-axes basis. This means that when the first zoom is executed, the state is stored. If a new plot is added later, the original view remains unchanged and is based on the original object in the axes. To reset the zoom state, use the ZOOM function, for example

zoom reset

This will store the current zoom status as the new "original axes state".

MATLAB: How to change the default Original View that a Figure resets to when I double-click inside the Figure Axes

This can be done by calling the "zoom reset" command from the Command Window:

1. Plot some data. For example, you could run the following command to produce a sample figure:

>> surf(peaks)

2. Change the view: pan, zoom, etc, until you reach a desired view to save as the default.

3. Reset the default view:

>> zoom reset

To verify that this works, proceed again to change the view: pan, and zoom so the data appears differently. Then double-click, and observe that you revert to the view following step 2 above.
