Problem with axes

Hi,

I made a figure with a subplot (4 rows and 2 columns, with a ylabel in each subplot). Then i wrote the following code:

% let centered title
set(gcf,'NextPlot','add');
axes;
h = title(tit);
set(gca,'Visible','off');
set(h,'Visible','on');
tith = get(gca,'Title'); 
set(tith,'Position',get(tith,'Position') + [0 .02 0]);
% put a single title in Y-axis
set(gcf,'NextPlot','add');
axes;
h = ylabel(ytit(end));
set(gca,'Visible','off');
set(h,'Visible','on');
ylabh = get(gca,'YLabel'); 
set(ylabh,'Position',get(ylabh,'Position') - [.03 0 0]);
zoom on

Well, my problem is i need to "zoom" on the subplots, but i think this applies in the last "axes", because subplots are not affected. I don't know what to do to apply the "zoom" to subplots.

Regards!

Just make each subplot the current plot and set zoom on, e.g.,

subplot(4,2,1)
zoom

See also the examples in the documentation for zoom for fancier customization of subplot zooms.

It doesn't work :(

[Andrew Newell]

When I type (in a new figure)

subplot(4,2,1)

plot(1:10)

zoom

I get the little magnifying glass in the subplot window. Do you?

[Pablo]

No.

Perhaps it's because i created 2 new axes after making subplot. I think it's a problem of "layers" (the axes i need aren't above the other axes).

Sorry, i don't know how to explain it more clearly xD

[Andrew Newell]

Your answer implies that you didn't try my suggested commands in a new figure.

MATLAB graphics doesn't have layers. When you use a command like subplot(4,2,1), that axis is "selected", i.e., commands like plot now apply only to that subplot, and h=gca returns the handle to that subplot.

zoom(AxisHandle, 'on')
