MATLAB: How to change the axis limit when I have 2 axes in the figure

Question

I have a figure with 2 axes:

>> figure

>> yyaxis left

>> plot(1:10);

>> yyaxis right

>> plot(2:2:20);

How can I change the y-limit of my left axis to be 0 to 5, but the right axis to be 5 to 10?

Answer 1

You can use the "yyaxis" and "ylim" commands to set the y-limit for both axes:

>> figure

>> yyaxis left

>> plot(1:10);

>> yyaxis right

>> plot(2:2:20);

>>

>> f = gcf;

>> yyaxis left

>> ylim(f.Children, [0 5]);

>> yyaxis right

>> ylim(f.Children, [5 10]);
