axis off in App designer

is there anyway to set the axis 'invisible' in App Designer?

similiar is 'axis equal'....

I looked around in the link below but could not find anyway to do that.

Do you want the axis off or equal? Using axis equal will not turn the axis off.

Try adding this line, modifying the axis handle to match your name.

axis(app.UIAxes,'off')

thank you!

sorry to bother, I have one more question regarding this topic.

after adding this command, the axis disappear after I plot the figure, but is there anyway to make it invisible when I launch the app? which could make the windows display better?

[Cris LaPierre]

Add the command I shared earlier in the startupFcn callback

[Yu Li]

a new problem becomes that, if add command:

axis(app.cylinder_plot,'off')

axis(app.cylinder_plot,'equal')

to the startupFcn, it is not availble to set the backgroud color by:

Color(app.cylinder_plot,'w') or app.cylinder_plot.Color='w'

is there any mistake with my operation?

Thanks!

That is correct. Turning the axis off prevents the background from showing.

In the Design View of app designer, try the following.

1. Select your axes
2. In the Axes Properties > Labels, remove the XLabel String and YLabel String
3. In the Axes Properties > Ticks, remove the values in XTick and YTick
4. If you want a box around plot, in Axes Properties > Box Styling select the Box checkbox. You can pick the box color there as well.
5. You'll notice that the background color is already white (default)

In your startupFcn callback add

axis(app.UIAxes,'equal')
% if you don't want the black lines for the axes, include:
app.UIAxes.XColor = 'w';
app.UIAxes.YColor = 'w';

Thank you so much!
