MATLAB: How to resize one axis and keep proportionality

axisproportionsresize

I would like to change my axis' position and size but keep the Y axis proportion with

axis equal

The only way I found to do that was

set(gca,'Units','normalized','Position', [0 0 1 1]);
axis equal

But with this method, the Y-axis is kept to 1 and the X-axis is resized to keep the proportions.

I would like the exact contrary: let the X-axis to 1 and resize the Y-axis with the proportionality.

Any idea to help me?

Hi,

Thank you all for your answers. I tried them all but it did not work. I tried it with other parameters. It turns out the one I was looking for is:

set(gca,'Units','normalized','Position', [0 -0.5 1 2]);

I am not sure why this is it, but it works very well for my specific case...

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);
