Properties Changed by Built-In Functions

To achieve their intended effect, many built-in functions change axes properties, which can then affect the workings of your M-file. This table lists the MATLAB built-in graphics functions and the properties they change. These properties change only if hold is off.

Function	Axes Property: Set To
`fill`	`Box: on` `CameraPosition`: 2-D view `CameraTarget`: 2-D view `CameraUpVector`: 2-D view `CameraViewAngle`: 2-D view
`fill3`	`CameraPosition`: 3-D view `CameraTarget`: 3-D view `CameraUpVector`: 3-D view `CameraViewAngle`: 3-D view `XScale`: `linear` `YScale`: `linear` `ZScale`: `linear`
`image` (high-level)	`Box: on` `Layer: top` `CameraPosition`: 2-D view `CameraTarget`: 2-D view `CameraUpVector`: 2-D view `CameraViewAngle`: 2-D view `XDir: normal` `XLim: [0 size(CData,2)]+0.5` `XLimMode: manual` `YDir: reverse` `YLim: [0 size(CData,1)]+0.5YLimMode: manual`
`loglog`	`Box: on` `CameraPosition`: 2-D view `CameraTarget`: 2-D view `CameraUpVector`: 2-D view `CameraViewAngle`: 2-D view `XScale: log` `YScale: log`
`plot`	`Box: on` `CameraPosition`: 2-D view `CameraTarget`: 2-D view `CameraUpVector`: 2-D view `CameraViewAngle`: 2-D view
`plot3`	`CameraPosition`: 3-D view `CameraTarget`: 3-D view `CameraUpVector`: 3-D view `CameraViewAngle`: 3-D view `XScale: linear` `YScale: linear` `ZScale: linear`
`semilogx`	`Box: on` `CameraPosition`: 2-D view `CameraTarget`: 2-D view `CameraUpVector`: 2-D view `CameraViewAngle`: 2-D view `XScale: log` `YScale: linear`
`semilogy`	`Box: on` `CameraPosition`: 2-D view `CameraTarget`: 2-D view `CameraUpVector`: 2-D view `CameraViewAngle`: 2-D view `XScale: linear` `YScale: log`
