MATLAB: How to dynamically update figure ticks and labels while inspecting data

axisdatetickdynamicfigureMATLABplottickzoom

I am often plotting data, then I want to zoom in/out to get a better understanding of smaller details within a bigger set of data. When I zoom in using the magnifying glass feature, it would be great if the axes updated. For example, if the x-axis goes from 0-10 in units of 1 increments, then I zoom into the section between x=1.1 and x=1.9, there is no information on the x-axis to indicate where I am anymore. Is there an easy way to deal with this?

I think I have answered my own question. This tool works really well for zooming while using datetick. I just put the .m file in the MATLAB search path, and everything worked flawlessly (after restarting MATLAB).

You could try this submission : Intelligent Dynamic Date Ticks

DYNAMICDATETICKS is a wrapper function around DATETICK which creates dynamic date tick labels for plots with dates on the X-axis. The date ticks intelligently include year/month/day information on specific ticks as appropriate. The ticks are dynamic with respect to zooming and panning. They update as the timescale changes (from years to seconds). Data tips on the plot also show intelligently as dates.

You can do it by running the following statements.

ax = gca;
ax.XTickLabel = ax.XTickLabel;

ax = gca;
ax.XTickLabelMode = 'manual';
