When zooming in the axes of the app designer, my text will go out of the axes, how to aviod this?

like this. The rectangle represents the axes and the numbers represent text i added, when i zoom in the rectangle, those text will go out of the area instead of disappearing, why? What should i do to avoid this?

There is a Clipping property on text objects that is off by default. If you set the Clipping property to 'on' you will get the behavior your are expecting.

Default Behavior

ax = axes;
t = text([0.1 0.2 0.3], [0.1 0.2 0.3], ["one", "two", "three"]);
xlim([0.21 1])

With Clipping 'on'

figure
ax = axes;
t = text([0.1 0.2 0.3], [0.1 0.2 0.3], ["one", "two", "three"],'Clipping','on');
xlim([0.21 1])

@rumin diao: In addition to setting the Clipping property of the texts to 'on', you may want to change the axes property ClippingStyle from its default '3dbox' to 'rectangle'.

Here's the effect that would have in this case:

Clipping 'on' and default ClippingStyle ('3dbox')

figure();
ax = axes;
t = text([0.1 0.2 0.3], [0.1 0.2 0.3], ["one", "two", "three"],'Clipping','on');
xlim([0.21 1])

Clipping 'on' and ClippingStyle 'rectangle'

figure();
ax = axes('ClippingStyle','rectangle');
t = text([0.1 0.2 0.3], [0.1 0.2 0.3], ["one", "two", "three"],'Clipping','on');
xlim([0.21 1])

As you can see, the text 'two' is completely gone when ClippingStyle is '3dbox' because its Position (0.2, 0.2) is outside the axes limits, whereas it is partially shown when ClippingStyle is 'rectangle'.
