MATLAB: How to change the size of a graph/plot to be longer

graphMATLABplotplotting

I have a plot that looks very stretched to the left and right. Is there a way to stretch the graph in the vertical direction?

Thanks!

Try axis options like "axis equal", "axis square", etc. If those don't do it for you then set the position property of the axis, like this:

handleToAxis.Units = 'normalized';  % Or leave as pixels if you want.
handleToAxis.Position = [x, y, width, height]; % If normalized units, all values are between 0 and 1

MATLAB: Plot with two different x-axix

Try this.

clear all;close all
figure;
h=plot(k1,Depth1)
ax1=gca
ax1.XColor = 'r';
ax1.YColor = 'r';
ax1_pos = ax1.Position; % position of first axes
ax2 = axes('Position',ax1_pos,...
    'XAxisLocation','top',...
    'YAxisLocation','left',...
    'Color','none');
plot(NESNP1,Depth1,'Parent',ax2,'Color','k')
set(gca,'Ydir','reverse')
set(ax2,'XAxisLocation','top')
set(ax1,'Ytick',[])

MATLAB: How to have a graph with labeled x-axis ticks on the bottom and top of the graph

By default the plot should have a set of axes with a labeled set of tick marks on the bottom and the left. The example below explains how this can be done for both the X and Y axes with different Tick labels on all four sides.

plot(1:10);
% First, store the handle to those axes.
% Next create a second set of axes, 
% position This on top of the first and make it transparent.
ax1=gca;
ax2 = axes('Position', get(ax1, 'Position'),'Color', 'none');
set(ax2, 'XAxisLocation', 'top','YAxisLocation','Right');
% set the same Limits and Ticks on ax2 as on ax1;
set(ax2, 'XLim', get(ax1, 'XLim'),'YLim', get(ax1, 'YLim'));
set(ax2, 'XTick', get(ax1, 'XTick'), 'YTick', get(ax1, 'YTick'));
OppTickLabels = {'a' 'b' 'c' 'd' 'e' 'f' 'g' 'h' 'i' 'j' 'k'}
% Set the x-tick and y-tick  labels for the second axes
set(ax2, 'XTickLabel', OppTickLabels,'YTickLabel',OppTickLabels);
