Axes Properties
2-110
where left and bottom define the distance from the lower-left corner of the
figure window to the lower-left corner of the rectangle. width and height are
the dimensions of the rectangle. All measurements are in units specified by the
Units property.
When axes stretch-to-fill behavior is enabled (when DataAspectRatioMode,
PlotBoxAspectRatioMode, CameraViewAngleMode are all auto), the axes are
stretched to fill the Position rectangle. When stretch-to-fill is disabled, the
axes are made as large as possible, while obeying all other properties, without
extending outside the Position rectangle
Projection {orthographic} | perspective
Type of projection. This property selects between two projection types:
• orthographic – This projection maintains the correct relative dimensions of
graphics objects with regard to the distance a given point is from the viewer.
Parallel lines in the data are drawn parallel on the screen.
• perspective – This projection incorporates foreshortening, which allows you
to perceive depth in 2-D representations of 3-D objects. Perspective
projection does not preserve the relative dimensions of objects; a distant line
segment displays smaller than a nearer line segment of the same length.
Parallel lines in the data may not appear parallel on screen.
Selected on | off
Is object selected. When you set this property to on, MATLAB displays selection
“handles” at the corners and midpoints if the SelectionHighlight property is
also on (the default). You can, for example, define the ButtonDownFcn callback
routine to set this property to on, thereby indicating that the axes has been
selected.
SelectionHighlight {on} | off
Objects highlight when selected. When the Selected property is on, MATLAB
indicates the selected state by drawing four edge handles and four corner
handles. When SelectionHighlight is off, MATLAB does not draw the
handles.
Tag string (GUIDE sets this property)
User-specified object label. The Tag property provides a means to identify
graphics objects with a user-specified label. This is particularly useful when
constructing interactive graphics programs that would otherwise need to
