There are two axes there, be sure to use it on BOTH! Beware, the XLIMS are selected very carefully to line up. XLIM takes a vector of handles. You might you linkaxis too. Doug @BP,

I am trying to change the scale on my x axis, to simply magnify my results. I have two y axes using the plotyy and if I try to change the x axis limits, it only changes the numbers for the set of data on the left y axis. The x axis for the right side stays the same. I was not even aware they weren't connected. For various reasons I have to do this after I run my code. I have been using the property editor, and I can't seem to even select the x axis for the right set of data. Is there a way to group these? or a way to select the right axis to change it's limits?

If you have set special tick labels (say with the DATETICK function) then call ZOOM with an output argument. This output is the zoom mode object, and has several properties that you can use to control what happens before and after zooming occurs. The particular property in which you'd be most interested is the ActionPostCallback. As the name suggests, this callback is called after the axes are zoomed and allows you to do things like calling DATETICK to update the labels to reflect the new tick locations. For more information, see the <a href="http://www.mathworks.com/help/techdoc/ref/zoom.html" rel="nofollow">ZOOM reference page</a> in the documentation. Logan,

I would like to re-ask part of Tobias's question from two years ago, which didn't seem to be fully answered: "Is it possible to (easily) manipulate the zoom-function in PLOTYY-plots so that the y-axes gets updated when I zoom in? At the moment the axis-settings are very crude and they dont update, when I zoom in the window, so that I wont have any axis-ticks, when I zoom in deeply." I am having the same problem with the y-axes not updating when I zoom in deeply. Not sure if this is the right forum for this but…

I have tried plotyyy and find out that the function works fine if x1,x2,x3 and y1,y2,y3 are vectors. Thanks!
