MATLAB: Cannot set axes limits

axes limitsMATLABplot

Hi, I am working with GUI interface. I want to set ,y own xlimits and ylimits. But I cannot do it:

figure('name','MomentFinder')

axes('OuterPosition',[0,0.2,1,0.8],'XLim',[-2 50],'YLim',[-2 35],'XLimMode','manual', 'YLimMode','manual');

plot(gca,file,vel1,'-',file,vel2,'-');

Matlab plot's vel1(file) in it's own limits. And I want the limits to be static. What is wrong?

Thanks

Set the limits after you issue the plot() command.

MATLAB: Gca.XLimMode does not work

If you check the xLimMode after running your code, you will see that it has changed back to auto after the plot() statement. You need to hold() the axis to stop it from changing automatically.

fig = figure;
ha1 = axes;
ha1.Position = [0.5 0.5 0.3 0.3]
ha1.XLim = [-10 -5];
ha1.YLim  = [-5 -1];
set(ha1,'xlimMode','manual');
set(ha1,'ylimMode','manual');
[x,y] = ginput;
hold(ha1);  %<--- this line will prevent automatic changes.
plot(x,y);
