MATLAB: How to link/lock multiple axis so that they all rotate simultaneously

3d plotsaxesaxisMATLABplotrotate

I have two sets of axis in one figure and I want to use my mouse to 3D-rotate the plots. The Axis are aligned using linkaxes() and ax1.Position = ax2.Position

The problem is, that only one plot is rotating at a time.

I used two axis, because I want a different colormap on each one.

Thanks for any suggestions! -Fabian

The 'Position' property is the location relative to the figure. But you want to control the 'CameraPosition', 'CameraTarget', 'CameraUpVector' and 'CameraViewAngle'. Use linkaxes to link them.

MATLAB: How to save a figure with linked properties

The documentation on linkprop recommends storing the link object that linkprop() produces in the object's UserData property. After re-opening the figure you could then access the linkprop object to restore its properties. Here is a simple example where I create two figures and link the properties of the first to the second. Then I save the 2nd figure and close both figures. Then I open the 2nd figure and apply the link object to it again. However, in this simple example when I open the 2nd figure the properties are maintained which makes me wonder how you're saving your figure; using savefig()?

% Create 2 figs; we'll use the first as the template
f1 = figure('name', 'fig1', 'color', 'b', 'NumberTitle', 'off'); 
f2 = figure('name', 'fig2');
% Copy properties to fig 2; store link object in fig 2
linkObj = linkprop([f1, f2], {'Color', 'NumberTitle'}); 
f2.UserData = linkObj; 
% save figure 2 to current directory; close both figure and clear vars
savefig(f2, 'fig2')
close([f1,f2])
clear all
% open figure 2 
f2 = open('fig2.fig');
% Restore properties stored in UserData
addtarget(f2.UserData, f2)

Hide:

set(gca,'visible','off') %hide the current axes
set(get(gca,'children'),'visible','off') %hide the current axes contents

Show:

set(gca,'visible','on') %show the current axes
set(get(gca,'children'),'visible','on') %show the current axes contents

If needed replace gca by the handle of the axes you wish to work with
