How to select first entry of multiple xlim

Hello,

imagine I have subplots like

for i=1:2
   ax = subplot(1,2,i)
   xlim(ax(1),[0 130])
   xlim(ax(2),[0 140])
end

How can I select only the first xlim entry of ax(1)? I tried this command:

x1 = xlim(ax(1),1); and several other combinations. Best regards Henrik

The question is not clear. After ax = subplot(1,2,i), ax is a scalar, such that "ax(2)" should fail.

Perhaps you mean:

for i=1:2
  ax    = subplot(1,2,i)
  axLim = get(ax, 'XLim');
  x1    = axLim(1);
end

Or do you want to set the left X-limit keeping the automatic limit on the right?

for i=1:2
  ax    = subplot(1,2,i)
  axLim = get(ax, 'XLim');
  xlim(ax, [130, axLim(2)]);
end

Use the for loop index

for i=1:2
   ax(i) = subplot(1,2,i)   
end

ax = 
  Axes with properties:

             XLim: [0 1]
             YLim: [0 1]
           XScale: 'linear'
           YScale: 'linear'
    GridLineStyle: '-'
         Position: [0.1300 0.1100 0.3347 0.8150]
            Units: 'normalized'

  Use GET to show all properties

ax = 
  1×2 Axes array:

    Axes    Axes

xlim(ax(1),[0 130]); 
xlim(ax(2),[0 140]);
