Only one y-axis of two updates when graph zoomed in on

Hello,

I am generating graphs from multiple variables relative to the same x-axis. The output plots look good (see LHS example), but when I attempt to zoom in on a portsion of the graph, the LHS y-axis and x-axis update to the modified values within visual range, while the RHS y-axis values remain static as before the zoom, making it difficult to determine values from the zoomed-in graph. How can I remedy this issue? See attached graphics:

Thanks,

Hi,

I understand that you want x and y axes of both of your subplots to be updated when zoomed in.

This can be done either by using “linkaxes” or “linkprop” functions.

Please find the code for linking x and y axes of two subplots below:

% Here, ax1 and ax2 are  
% axes of the two subplots.  

% Using 'linkaxes' function. 
linkaxes([ax1, ax2], 'xy'); 

% Using 'linkprop' function. 
linkprop([ax1, ax2], {'XLim', 'YLim'}); 

For more information on the “linkaxes” and “linkprop” functions, you can refer to the following documentation:

https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/linkprop.html

Hope this helps!
