How to Set Axis Limits for an Added Graph in MATLAB?

[TimFys]

Hi,
I am plotting 3 graphs in MATLAB using plotyy as

[ax h1 h2] = plotyy(x1,Ftemp,x2,Fsnow);
hold(ax(2), 'on');
h3 = plot(ax(2),x1,Fprec);

I am thus adding the third graph to the right hand y-axis. I then set the limits and tickmarks for the right hand y-axis as

set(ax(2), 'xlim', [1999.5 2010.5]);
set(ax(2), 'ylim', [0 50], 'YTick', 0:10:50);

This however only sets the y-axis for h2, the graph I originally plotted using plotyy. The added graph h3 has its own tickmarks and limits. Does anyone know how to handle the axis of h3, the added graph? I want the tickmarks of h2 and h3 to sync and be in the same range.

Thanks, Tim

Hi Tim,

To set the tickmarks and limits for the added graph h3, you can use the 'YAxisLocation' property of the axes object. This property specifies the location of the y-axis for a particular graph. In your case, you can use the following code to set the tickmarks and limits for h3:

set(ax(2), 'YAxisLocation', 'right'); % sets the y-axis location for h3 to the right side
set(ax(2), 'ylim', [0 50], 'YTick', 0:10:50); % sets the tickmarks and limits for h3

This should sync the tickmarks and limits for h2 and h3. Let me know if you have any further questions or if this solution works for you.
