MATLAB: Make line invisible but still have axes scale

line visibility

Is there a way to plot a line and make it invisible and still have the axes scale that line when the figure is panned or zoomed?

Best Answer

You can set it's LineStyle to 'none' and it's Marker to 'none'.

MATLAB: GCA attributes axes changes

Use set command

Example

t=0:0.1:10;
y=sin(t);
plot(t,y);
set(gca,'xlim',[0 5])

With the new version of Matlab

h=gca
h.XLim=[0 5]

MATLAB: Gca.XLimMode does not work

If you check the xLimMode after running your code, you will see that it has changed back to auto after the plot() statement. You need to hold() the axis to stop it from changing automatically.

fig = figure;
ha1 = axes;
ha1.Position = [0.5 0.5 0.3 0.3]
ha1.XLim = [-10 -5];
ha1.YLim  = [-5 -1];
set(ha1,'xlimMode','manual');
set(ha1,'ylimMode','manual');
[x,y] = ginput;
hold(ha1);  %<--- this line will prevent automatic changes.
plot(x,y);
