The ## first and second elements specify the lower and upper limits for the x ## axis. The third and fourth specify the limits for the y axis, and the ## fifth and sixth specify the limits for the z axis. ## ## If your plot is already drawn, then you need to use @code{replot} before ## the new axis limits will take effect. You can get this to happen ## automatically by setting the built-in variable @code{automatic_replot} ## to a nonzero value. ## ## Without any arguments, @code{axis} turns autoscaling on. ## ## The vector argument specifying limits is optional, and additional ## string arguments may be used to specify various axis properties. For ## example, ## ## @example ## axis ([1, 2, 3, 4], "square"); ## @end example ## ## @noindent ## forces a square aspect ratio, and ## ## @example ## axis ("labely", "tic"); ## @end example ## ## @noindent ## turns tic marks on for all axes and tic mark labels on for the y-axis ## only. ## ## @noindent ## The following options control the aspect ratio of the axes. ## ## @table @code ## @item "square" ## Force a square aspect ratio. ## @item "equal" ## Force x distance to equal y-distance. ## @item "normal" ## Restore the balance. ## @end table ## ## @noindent ## The following options control the way axis limits are interpreted. ## ## @table @code ## @item "auto" ## Set the specified axes to have nice limits around the data ## or all if no axes are specified. ## @item "manual" ## Fix the current axes limits. ## @item "tight" ## Fix axes to the limits of the data (not implemented). ## @end table ## ## @noindent ## The option @code{"image"} is equivalent to @code{"tight"} and ## @code{"equal"}. ## ## @noindent ## The following options affect the appearance of tic marks. ## ## @table @code ## @item "on" ## Turn tic marks and labels on for all axes. ## @item "off" ## Turn tic marks off for all axes. ## @item "tic[xyz]" ## Turn tic marks on for all axes, or turn them on for the ## specified axes and off for the remainder. ## @item "label[xyz]" ## Turn tic labels on for all axes, or turn them on for the ## specified axes and off for the remainder. ## @item "nolabel" ## Turn tic labels off for all axes. ## @end table ## Note, if there are no tic marks for an axis, there can be no labels. ## ## @noindent ## The following options affect the direction of increasing values on ## the axes. ## ## @table @code ## @item "ij" ## Reverse y-axis, so lower values are nearer the top. ## @item "xy" ## Restore y-axis, so higher values are nearer the top. ## @end table ## @end deftypefn ## Author: jwe ## Modified to work with Grace by Teemu Ikonen ## Created: 28.7.2003 function curr_axis = axis (ax, varargin) ## This may not be correct if someone has used the gnuplot interface ## directly... global __current_axis__ = [-10, 10, -10, 10];
