Question: How can I change the axis limit when I have 2 axes in my figure?

I have a figure with 2 axes: >> figure >> yyaxis left >> plot(1:10); >> yyaxis right >> plot(2:2:20); How can I change the y-limit of my left axis to be 0 to 5, but the right axis to be 5 to 10?

You can use the "yyaxis" and "ylim" commands to set the y-limit for both axes:

 

>> figure
>> yyaxis left
>> plot(1:10);
>> yyaxis right
>> plot(2:2:20);
>>
>> f = gcf;
>> yyaxis left
>> ylim(f.Children, [0 5]);
>> yyaxis right
>> ylim(f.Children, [5 10]);
