How can I change the default Original View that a Figure resets to when I double-click inside the Figure Axes?

I have plotted some data and would like to pan, zoom, and rotate this data. However, when I double click, it takes me back to the view from when the data is first plotted. This is the same view that I see if I right click and select "Reset to Original View" within the axes. Is there a way to reset the functionality for double clicking so that I double click, the view instead changes to some previously specified axis limits and camera angle?

This can be done by calling the "zoom reset" command from the Command Window:

1. Plot some data. For example, you could run the following command to produce a sample figure:

​>> surf(peaks)

2. Change the view: pan, zoom, etc, until you reach a desired view to save as the default. 

3. Reset the default view:

>> zoom reset

To verify that this works, proceed again to change the view: pan, and zoom so the data appears differently. Then double-click, and observe that you revert to the view following step 2 above.
