Thread Subject: Area plot not bound in axes

For my gui, I am using the function 'area' to illustrate to
the user which section of a curve is being integrated. The
graph comes out correctly, and I can see the area that is of
interest shaded in. However, there is a problem if I use the
tools zoomin, zoomout, or pan from the menu I added at the
top using guide. The shaded area is visible outside of the
boundary of the plot axes, and shows up on top of the gray
panel that the axis is on. Only the shaded region does this,
and other lines and points that are on the same plot do not
also show up out of bounds. Any suggestions?

I also tried specifying 'area' to plot in the axis like:

area(handles.axes1, x_values, y_values)

Which Matlab version are you using?

Do you have a relatively simple example to reproduce this?
When I try in R2007a, it doesn't appear to happen for me.

I am experiencing exactly the same problem. When I use the zoom or pan tools on an "filled 2D area" plot (contained in a uipanel ) the zoomed/panned results are graphed beyond the extent of the graphical axes bounds (i.e. area(bf,'FaceColor', c3)).

It appears as if the uipanel, which the "area plot" axes is contained by has now become the new graphical axes bounds instead. In other words, the axes bounds do not visually change in size, the plot simply draws past the axes bounds right into the uipanel background colour, right upto the uipanel edge. I am assuming that this is a bug that needs to be fixed, all other plot types (e.g. plot, bar etc.) work just fine so it must be the "area" type that needs to be fixed. I am hoping that some one at Mathworks will pick-up on this thread and fix the bug. Any help, or work-around would be much appreciated. In the meanwhile I will have to use a simple "plot" instead.
