MATLAB: Copying axes into Figure only copies the half of the actual plot.

axesguiplot

I'm trying to copy the plot from my GUI axes into another figure then saving it as a JPEG file, but the copying of the object only copies half way of the plot.

See image attached. (Left is the copied plot from axes1 in GUI, right is the axes1 in the actual GUI.

Here is the code I'm using to copy the objects.

plot1name = ['Plot1' '.jpeg'];
h = findobj(gcf,'type','axes');
fig1 = figure('Visible','on');
newAxe1 = copyobj(h,fig1);
saveas(fig1,plot1name);

In addition to copying the axis children, copy the axis properties, too, especially the axis limits.

X = randn(2,2,2000);
Y = X(:,:,1:1000);

Y copies the first 1000 elements of X along the 3rd dimension.

MATLAB: How to copy XTickLabels

xticlabel is not a child of the axes, it is a property of the axes.

f1=figure; 
ax1=axes; 
plot(data); 
set(gca,'XTickLabel',[11:20])
% Now make a new figure and copy the old axes.
f2=figure; 
ax2 = copyobj(ax1,f2)

Now everything about the ax1 is copied to f2. If need be, you can always do something like:

set(ax2,'xticklab',get(ax1,'xticklab'))
