MATLAB: Change DEFAULT properties DataAspectRatioMode and PlotBoxAspectRatioMode to ‘auto’

2017bautodataaspectratiomodedefaultfigureplotboxaspectratiomodeproperties

How can I change the Default figure properties? In 2017a DataAspectRatioMode and PlotBoxAspectRatioMode were set to Auto by default. In 2017b it is by default set to Manual. I want to change it to Auto for all figures, not having to change it for each figure individually. There must be a way…

Any groot defaults are just that: defaults. If a value is not overridden by the user, it remains default. Otherwise, the default value is ignored.

The pdemesh function calls either pdeplot or pdeplot3D to do the legwork. Both of these then have axis equal in them. Calling axis equal (or likely any input to the axis function other than auto) changes the aspect ratio, thereby negating the default values, and setting mode to manual.

MATLAB: Change Default Behavior of the Zoom

It turns out there is no 3DPanAndZoomStyle property to the Axes objects so I couldn't set a Root default behavior. I ended up adding the line below after each 3D plot call.

setAxes3DPanAndZoomStyle(zoom(gca),gca,'camera')

This function calls the folowing: matlab.graphics.interaction.internal.setAxes3DPanAndZoomStyle(hThis.FigureHandle,hAx,ver3d); which goes to deep for me...

Below are the notes on the version history:

3-D Pan and Zoom: Explore data with improved pan and zoom behavior for axes in a 3-D view For axes in a 3-D view, panning and zooming now shift the view of the data by modifying the axis limits, instead of moving the entire axes. The axes box stays in the same location within the figure. Previously, panning and zooming modified camera properties, which moved the entire axes around within the figure. Compatibility Considerations If you have an axes in a 3-D view, then the behavior of pan and zoom is different. For the old behavior, use one of these options: Use the context menus when in pan or zoom mode. For example, when you are in zoom mode, right-click over the axes and select 3D Options > Camera Pan and Zoom. Use the setAxes3DPanAndZoomStyle function to specify the behavior, for example: ax = gca; z = zoom; setAxes3DPanAndZoomStyle(z,ax,'camera') Use the camera toolbar. To view the camera toolbar, select View > Camera Toolbar from the figure menu.

MATLAB: Aspect ratio

Another "plzz reply soon" question. If you are in a hurry spending the time to insert any details in your question would be a good idea.

Height = 180  % in cm

Width = 50    % in cm
AspectRatio = Height / Width

This is an aspect ratio of a human. I do not think, that this helps a lot, but it is all I can guess reading your question.
