Understanding Axes Aspect Ratio for more information on how axis limits affect the axes. MATLAB Function Reference xlim, ylim, zlim Set or query axis limits Syntax Note that the syntax for each of these three functions is the same only the xlimfunction is used for simplicity. Most plotting functions accept datetime and duration. The datetime data type represents points in time, such as August 24, 2020, 10:50:30 a.m., while the duration data type represents lengths of time, such as 12 hours and 30 minutes. Setting the Aspect Ratio and Axis Limits for related functions This example shows how to create line plots with dates and times that are stored as datetime and duration arrays. This example illustrates how to set the x- and y-axis limits to match the actual range of the data, rather than the rounded values of for the x-axis and for the y-axis originally selected by MATLAB. If you set the limits on an existing graph and want to maintain these limits while adding more graphs, use the hold command. Note that high-level plotting functions like plot and surf reset both the modes and the limits. Setting a value for any of the limits also sets the corresponding mode to manual.

When the axis limit modes are auto (the default), MATLAB uses limits that span the range of the data being displayed and are round numbers. For Cartesian axes, specify the limits in one of these forms: xmin xmax ymin ymax Set the x -axis limits to range from xmin to xmax. Axis limits, specified as a vector of four, six, or eight elements. xlim(xMin xMax) In the above code, xMin is the minimum value of the x-axis and xMax is the maximum value of the x-axis. Xlim, ylim, and zlim set or query values of the axes object XLim, YLim, ZLim, and XLimMode, YLimMode, ZLimMode properties. limits Axis limitsfour-element vector six-element vector eight-element vector. If you want to set only the limit of the x-axis, you can use the xlim () function after plotting the variables. When you do not specify an axes handle, these functions operate on the current axes. Performs the set or query on the axes identified by the first argument, axes_handle. Sets the respective axis limit mode to manual. Returns the current value of the axis limits mode, which can be either auto (the default) or manual. Sets the axis limits in the current axes to the specified values. With no arguments returns the respective limits of the current axes. Each operates on the respective x-, y-, or z-axis. Note that the syntax for each of these three functions is the same only the xlim function is used for simplicity. Xlim, ylim, zlim (MATLAB Functions) MATLAB Function Reference
