MATLAB: Enable Rotate or Zoom automatically

Question

Hi, is it possible to enable the "rotate" or "zoom" buttons for newly-created plot figures automatically?

I have tried:

 h = figure;
 get(h,'WindowButtonDownFcn')

But this is blank when the toolbar of "h" has no button pressed, and pressing the rotate button and then running

 get(h,'WindowButtonDownFcn')

is not very informative to me.

I know that simply clicking on "rotate" or "zoom" is easy, but I am plotting a large number of figures, so it would really be convenient if these buttons were enabled automatically upon the creation of the plot.

Thanks, Hamad

Answer 1

it is very possible to do so. check out for zoom and on the left side of that link there is one for rotate. specifically as a short example you can go

figH = figure,plot(rand(5,10))
zoomH = zoom(figH)
set(zoomH,'Enable','on');
