Lock axes

Hi all,

I am using this way of having 2 dragable lines to change limits within a plot.

But whenever I drag them to the bottom or top of the axes, the axes change their limits, although I manually set them using

aH = axes( 'Xlim', [0 10], 'Ylim', [0 10]);
axis manual;

How can I disable the changing axes?

Any help is much appreciated

axis([0 10 0 10]);

doesn't work either

You can exclude the lines from influencing the AXES limits:

LineH = plot(1:10, rand(1, 10));
try
  set(LineH, 'YLimInclude', 'off');
catch
  error('Undocumented feature "YLimInclude" failed.');
end

As long as this feature is not documented, a TRY/CATCH helps to reveal problems in future versions. But it works at least since Matlab 6.5 - see: Undocumented: YLimInclude.

Exactly what I needed. I think they should document this..
