Purpose Synchronize limits of specified axes
Syntax linkaxes
linkaxes(axes_handles)
linkaxes(axes_handles,'options)
linkaxes
Description Use linkaxes to synchronize the individual axis limits on different subplots
within a figure. This is useful when you want to zoom or pan in one subplot and
display the same range of data in another subplot. linkaxes operates on 2-D
plots.
linkaxes links the x- and y-axis limits of all axes (i.e., all subplots) in the
current figure.
linkaxes(axes_handles) links the x- and y-axis limits of the axes specified in
axes_handles.
linkaxes(axes_handles,'option') links the axes specified in axes_handles
according to the specified option. The option argument can be one of the
following strings:
x — Link x-axes only
y — Link y-axes only
xy — Link x- and y-axes
off — Remove linking
See the linkprop function for more advanced capabilities enabling you to link
object properties on any graphics objects.
Examples This example creates two subplots and links the x-axis limits of the two axes.
You can use interactive zooming or panning (selected from the figure toolbar)
to see the effect of axes linking. For example, pan in one graph and notice how
the x-axis also changes in the other.
ax(1) = subplot(2,2,1);
plot(rand(1,10)*10,'Parent',ax(1));
ax(2) = subplot(2,2,2);
plot(rand(1,10)*100,'Parent',ax(2));
linkaxes(ax,'x');
