How to set front and back lines on plot with yyaxis left and right (2024)

How to plot two graphs with different y-axis in MATLAB? ›

Plot Multiple Sets of Data on Each Side

Plot two lines against the left y-axis by using the hold on command. Plot two lines against the right y-axis. The hold command affects both the left and right y-axes, so you do not need to reissue it. After plotting, turn hold back off.

Plot Multiple Lines

Use the figure command to open a new figure window. You can plot multiple lines using the hold on command. Until you use hold off or close the window, all plots appear in the current figure window.

yscale( scale ) sets the scale of the y-axis to be linear or logarithmic in the current axes. Specify scale as "linear" or "log" . You can also omit the parentheses and quotation marks when using this syntax. For example, yscale log is equivalent to yscale("log") .

You can change the x- or y-axis units by right-clicking the mouse on the axis label or by right-clicking on the plot and selecting Analysis Parameters.

When the data values in a chart vary widely from data series to data series, or when you have mixed types of data (for example, currency and percentages), you can plot one or more data series on a secondary vertical (Y) axis. The scale of the secondary Y-axis reflects the values for the associated data series.

To plot a single series of bars, specify y as a vector of length m. The bars are positioned from 1 to m along the x-axis. To plot multiple series of bars, specify y as a matrix with one column for each series.

yline( y ) creates a horizontal line at one or more y-coordinates in the current axes. For example, yline(2) creates a line at y=2 . yline( y , LineSpec ) specifies the line style, the line color, or both. For example, yline([12 20 33],'--b') creates three dashed blue lines.

Changing the scale of the axis: You can customize and modify the overall scale, interval and range of each axis in Excel using the "Format Axis" menu. Open the menu by right-clicking on an axis, then input the minimum and maximum values for the axis in the dialog box.

ylim( limits ) sets the y-axis limits for the current axes or chart. Specify limits as a two-element vector of the form [ymin ymax] , where ymax is greater than ymin . ylim( limitmethod ) specifies the limit method MATLAB^® uses for automatic limit selection.

How do you rescale the Y-axis in origin? ›

To change the axis scale range manually: Double-click on the X, Y, or Z axis to open the respective Axis dialog box. Select the Scale tab. Select the axis icon from the left panel.

Right-click the axis then select Format Axis in the menu. The Format Axis panel appears on the right side of the window. Under Axis Options in the Format Axis panel, set the minimum and maximum axis values by entering a value in the Minimum and Maximum boxes under Bounds.

Change Axis Limits

Create a line plot. Specify the axis limits using the xlim and ylim functions. For 3-D plots, use the zlim function. Pass the functions a two-element vector of the form [min max] .

Combine Plots in Same Axes

However, you can use the hold on command to combine multiple plots in the same axes. For example, plot two lines and a scatter plot. Then reset the hold state to off. When the hold state is on, new plots do not clear existing plots or reset axes properties, such as the title or axis labels.

Set the bar width to 0.5 so that the bars use 50% of the available space. Specify the bar color by setting the FaceColor property to an RGB color value. Plot a second bar graph over the first bar graph. Use the hold function to retain the first graph.
