Default Values for Automatically Calculated Properties
What Are Automatically Calculated Properties
When you create a graph, MATLAB® sets certain property values appropriately for the particular graph. These properties, such as those controlling axis limits and the figure renderer, have an associated mode property.
The mode property determines if MATLAB calculates a value for the property (mode is auto) or if
the property uses a specified value (mode is manual).
Default Values for Automatically Calculated Properties
Defining a default value for an automatically calculated property requires two steps:
Define the property default value
Define the default value of the mode property as
manual
Setting X-Axis Limits
Suppose you want to define default values for the x-axis limits. Because the axes
XLim property is usually automatically calculated, you must set the
associated mode property (XLimMode) to
manual.
set(groot,'defaultAxesXLim',[0 8]) set(groot,'defaultAxesXLimMode','manual') plot(1:20)
The axes uses the default x-axis limits of [0 8]:
