MATLAB: How to keep the scale on the axis the same on a graph

scale plots axis

I have a code which plots the ellipses of a tidal cycle. The x and y axis are the North and West co – ordinates on a graph. When plotting I need to keep the distances between the axis labels of y and x the same or else it visually makes the result look different. Is there a matlab function to keep the x and y scaling the same?

Try this:

x = 0:260;                                              % Create Data

y = rand(size(x));                                      % Create Data
figure(1)
plot(x, y)
xt = get(gca, 'XTick');                                 % 'XTick' Values
set(gca, 'XTick', xt, 'XTickLabel', xt/140)             % Relabel 'XTick' With 'XTickLabel' Values

The set call relabels the 'XTick' values with the same values divided by 140.

Set xlim to the limits you want.

Example —

x = logspace(5, 6, 25);                         % Create Data

y = rand(size(x));                              % Create Data
figure
semilogx(x, y)
grid
xlim([1E2 1E6])
