We do supply two rulers with the PLOTYY command, and there is a PLOTXX function on the File Exchange. A plot with four rulers could conceivably be implemented in a way similar to these functions. Regarding the customization of rulers, we don't currently have a solution for this, short of creating an invisible axes and manually adding the annotation you desire. I will make sure your suggestions are noted. At the current time, we don’t have a way provided to add multiple rulers to a plot.

Is there a way to make all 4 sides of a plot for individual scales/rulers? If not please put this in your suggestion box. In general, I have a need to make all kinds of rulers, scales, graduations: straight, curved, various fonts, various directions of fonts, labels, a hierarchy of tick marks, foreign symbols, carious colors, etc, etc. Again, please give me a hint if there is a specialized matlab tool for this. If not then please accept this as another addition to your suggestion box. Bets regards Hello -
