MATLAB: Anyway to add grid based on right yyaxis

plotyy right axis gridright yyaxis grid

Hi:

is there anyway to add grid based on right yyaxis instead of the left one?

Thanks!

As Cris LaPierre as already stated the precise algorithm , what you can do is you can just swap the yyaxis right to left and vice versa thereby satisfying your needs .

Or try this example using plotyy() and then follow it to your case:

[AX,H1,H2] =plotyy((1:10),(1:10),(1:10),(1:10).^2);
AX(1).YTick=1:10;  % make sure both the ticks have the same number of points to align them equally
AX(2).YTick=0:10:100;
AX(1).XGrid='on';
AX(2).XGrid='on';
AX(2).YGrid='on';  % grab the second axis handle and add grid lines to it
% AX(1).YMinorGrid='off';
AX(2).LineWidth=2;

Perhaps overplotting the left and right axes (and the tick lines if you want the tick lines) will do what you want:

x = linspace(0, 1, 1000);                                               % Create Data

y = rand(1, 1000);                                                      % Create Data
figure
plot(x, y)
ax = gca;
ax.Layer = 'bottom';
tl = ax.TickLength(1);
yaxtl = diff(xlim)*tl;
yt = ax.YTick;
hold on
plot([1 1]*min(xlim), ylim, '-k')                                       % Left Vertical Axis

plot([1 1]*max(xlim), ylim, '-k')                                       % Left Vertical Axis
plot([0; yaxtl]*ones(size(yt)), [yt; yt], '-k')                         % Left Y-Ticks
plot([max(xlim); max(xlim)-yaxtl]*ones(size(yt)), [yt; yt], '-k')       % Right Y-Ticks
hold off
grid

This overplots the vertical axes and the tick lines, so neither will be hidden. If you don’t want the tick lines, don’t plot them.

MATLAB: Plotyy Display Gridlines Axis

You can select the second axis handle for the data plotted with respect to the right y-axis. If you define an output for the plotyy function, the output variable will contain the figure axes handles in a vector. You can then use the set function to define the 'Xgrid' and 'Ygrid' states as 'on'.

For example:

% Outputs of the plotyy are the axes handles (in a vector) and each line handle
[haxes,hline1,hline2] = plotyy(t,z1,t,z2,'semilogy','plot');
% Turn the grid for the second axis on
set(haxes(2),'Xgrid','on')
set(haxes(2),'Ygrid','on')
