zoomfixticks

Allows zoom to honor a figure whose AXES tick labels have been manually set.

Description

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note: As of MATLAB® R2006b, the ZOOM, PAN, and ROTATE3D functions can return an object with properties that provide the functionality (and more) that this submission provides. See the documentation for details. I recommend using those supported MATLAB® features before considering this submission.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

By default, when you set ticklabels manually and zoom around the AXES, the ticklabels do not update automatically. They must be subsequently reset as desired. But with ZOOMFIXTICKS, this updating occurs automatically and seemlessly. The user of the function can create their own FIXTICKS function, which is called by ZOOMFIXTICKS. This is described in more detail in the help of the file in this submission.

This tool is especially useful when you want to override MATLAB's default format of the ticklabels.

• Acknowledgements: This submission has inspired the following:; correct tick label
• MATLAB release: MATLAB 6.1 (R12.1)
• Other requirements: Verified to work in MATLAB® 5.3 (R11) through .

Very nice if you want formatted tick labels and
zooming! Only downside is it takes a second to update after zooming if you have a large data set.

Very useful, can't wait for panfixticks.

Good implementation. One bug I experience with 7.2.0.232 (R2006a) is that on button down function generates a warning

Warning: Setting the "WindowButtonDownFcn" property is not permitted while this mode is active.

The same problem with 7.9.0.529 (R2009b). Works with an older version (6.x) perfectly.
