You can control where data appears in the axes by setting the x -axis, y -axis, and z -axis limits. You also can change where the x -axis and y -axis lines appear (2-D plots only) or reverse the direction of increasing values along each axis.

axis(limits) specifies the limits for the current axes. Specify the limits as vector of four, six, or eight elements. axis style uses a predefined style to set the limits and scaling. For example, specify the style as equal to use equal data unit lengths along each axis.
xlim(limits) sets the x-axis limits for the current axes or chart. Specify limits as a two-element vector of the form [xmin xmax] , where xmax is greater than xmin .
The commands xlim() and ylim() are used to specify the limits of the x (horizontal) and y (vertical) axes. Each of these functions expects a 1x2 or a 2x1 vector that contains the lower and upper limits respectively.
This example illustrates how to set the x- and y-axis limits to match the actual range of the data, rather than the rounded values of [-2 3] for the x-axis and [-2 4] for the y-axis originally selected by MATLAB.
This example illustrates how to set the x - and y -axis limits to match the actual range of the data, rather than the rounded values of [-2 3] for the x -axis and [-2 4] for the y -axis originally selected by MATLAB. [x,y] = meshgrid([-1.75:.2:3.25]); z = x.*exp(-x.^2-y.^2); surf(x,y,z) xlim([-1.75 3.25]) ylim([-1.75 3.25]) See Also.
Product Updates. Axes Appearance. Modify axis limits and tick values, add grid lines, combine multiple plots. You can customize axes by changing the limits, controlling the locations of the tick marks, formatting the tick labels, or adding grid lines.
