The limit method is not supported for standalone visualizations. MATLAB sets the XLimitMethod property of the axes to the value you specify. Specify the limit method as 'tickaligned', 'tight', or 'padded'. See Also axis The Axes properties XLim, YLim, ZLim The 'Aspect Ratio' section in the Using MATLAB Graphics manual. xlim (limitmethod) specifies the limit method MATLAB uses for automatic limit selection. If you set the limits on an existing graph and want to maintain these limits while adding more graphs, use the hold command.Įxamples This example illustrates how to set the x- and y-axis limits to match the actual range of the data, rather than the rounded values of for the x-axis and for the y-axis originally selected by MATLAB. Note that high-level plotting functions like plot and surf reset both the modes and the limits. Setting a value for any of the limits also sets the corresponding mode to manual. When the axis limit modes are auto (the default), MATLAB uses limits that span the range of the data being displayed and are round numbers. Remarks xlim, ylim, and zlim set or query values of the Axes object XLim, YLim, ZLim, and XLimMode, YLimMode, ZLimMode properties. When you do not specify an axes handle, these functions operate on the current axes. Performs the set or query on the axes identified by the first argument, axes_handle.

If you want the axes to choose the appropriate limits, set the limits mode back to automatic. y2 2sin (x) hold on axis manual plot (x,y2) hold off. Keep the current axis limits by setting the limits mode to manual. Sets the respective axis limit mode to manual. xLimits get (gca,'XLim') Get the range of the x axis yLimits get (gca,'YLim') Get the range of the y axis zLimits get (gca,'ZLim') Get the range of the z axis Each variable above will be a 1-by-2 array containing the minimum and maximum values for the respective axis. x linspace (0,10) y sin (x) plot (x,y) Add another sine wave to the axes using hold on. Returns the current value of the axis limits mode, which can be either auto (the default) or manual. Sets the axis limits in the current axes to the specified values. With no arguments return the respective limits of the current axes. Each operates on the respective x-, y-, or z-axis. Syntax Note that the syntax for each of these three functions is the same only the xlim function is used for simplicity. Xlim, ylim, zlim (MATLAB Function Reference) MATLAB Function Reference
