You can customize axes by changing the limits, controlling the locations of the tick marks, formatting the tick labels, or adding grid lines. You also can combine multiple plots, either using separate axes in the same figure, or by combining the plots in the same axes, with the option to add a second y-axis.

Control where data appears in the axes by setting the axis limits.
Specify Axis Tick Values and Labels
Customize the tick values and labels along an axis, such as editing the tick value placement or modifying the tick label text and formatting.
Add Grid Lines and Edit Placement
Add grid lines to a graph and modify their placement and appearance.
This example shows how to use graphics and font smoothing in MATLAB plots.
Show multiple plots together in the same figure, either by combining the plots in the same axes or by creating a tiled chart layout.
Create a chart with y-axes on both the left and right sides.
Modify Properties of Charts with Two y-Axes
Modify charts with two y-axes by setting axes properties or by accessing the underlying ruler objects.
Create Chart with Multiple x-Axes and y-Axes
Create a graph with two x-axes and two
y-axes by overlaying two separate Axes objects.
Control Ratio of Axis Lengths and Data Unit Lengths
Control the axis and data unit lengths by setting the plot box aspect ratio and the data aspect ratio.
Set axes properties to control the axes size and position, the layout of titles and labels, and the axes resize behavior.
This example shows how MATLAB® uses clipping in plots and how to control clipping.
