MATLAB: Yyaxis change ylim for both axes

axesylim;yyaxis

I would like to change the ylim of the left yaxis. You can see that the ylim entry has no effect at all. I can only change the right side of the yyaxis plot. I appraciate your advice.

Best regards

      %%figure  
      fig = figure (1);
      set(fig, 'Units', 'normalized', 'Position', [0.2, 0.1, 0.5, 0.3]);
      set(0,'defaulttextInterpreter','latex') 
      %%Plot data
      %First subplot
      ax1 = subplot(121)    
      x1 = linspace(1, 1000);
      y11 = x1.^2;
      y12 = x1;
      yyaxis left
      ylim([1, 100]);         % Has no effect. Why? 
      plot(x1,y11,'LineWidth',1.5);        
      grid on   
      yyaxis right
      plot(x1,y12,'LineWidth',1.5);
      %Second subplot
      ax2 = subplot(122);
      plot(x1,exp(x1),'LineWidth',1.5);
      grid on;

MATLAB: Are the rightmost axes from two or more subplots not aligned when creating the subplots with y-axes on the right and left hand side

This is expected behavior when adding a second axes on a subplot figure. The plot boxes can be lined up using the 'align' option in the SUBPLOT function. To do this, change

subplot(2,2,1)

subplot(2,2,1,'align')

For example,

x1 = 1:100; y1 = x1*ones(length(x1)); 
x2 = 1:100; y2 = cos(pi*x2/6); 
subplot(2,2,1,'align') 
plot(x1,y1,'Color','r'); 
set(gca,'XColor','r','YColor','r'); 
axes('Position',get(gca,'Position'), 'XAxisLocation','top',... 
      'YAxisLocation','right','Color','none', 'XColor','k','YColor','k'); 
hold on; 
plot(x2,y2,'Color','k'); 
subplot(2,2,2,'align') 
plot(x1,y1,'Color','r'); 
set(gca,'XColor','r','YColor','r'); 
axes('Position',get(gca,'Position'), 'XAxisLocation','top',... 
      'YAxisLocation','right','Color','none', 'XColor','k','YColor','k'); 
hold on; 
plot(x2,y2,'Color','k'); 
subplot(2,2,3,'align') 
plot(x1,y1,'Color','r'); 
set(gca,'XColor','r','YColor','r'); 
axes('Position',get(gca,'Position'), 'XAxisLocation','top',... 
      'YAxisLocation','right','Color','none', 'XColor','k','YColor','k'); 
hold on; 
plot(x2,y2,'Color','k'); 
subplot(2,2,4,'align') 
plot(x1,y1,'Color','r'); 
set(gca,'XColor','r','YColor','r'); 
axes('Position',get(gca,'Position'), 'XAxisLocation','top',... 
      'YAxisLocation','right','Color','none', 'XColor','k','YColor','k'); 
hold on; 
plot(x2,y2,'Color','k');

MATLAB: Scaling and change the ylim for subplot

You should set ylim() for each axes separately. For example:

x = linspace (0, 6, 51)';
y1 = sin (x);
y2 = cos (x);
yyaxis ('left');
plot (x,y1);
ylim ([-2,2]);
yyaxis ('right');
plot (x,y2);
ylim ([-6,6]);
