Can I change the axis scaling after plotting is done?
I have a function that plots a graph with time on the x-axis, sometimes I want to change the scaling from s to ms or whatever. Can I somehow do that without plotting it again and multiplying everything by 1e3?

You can modify the XData, the XTicks or the XTickLabels. The first method is most flexible, because it support zooming with correct tick marks:
t = linspace(0, 2*pi, 100); LineH = plot(t, sin(t)); pause(1.0); XData = get(LineH, 'XData'); set(LineH, 'XData', XData / 1000);
