Zooming In and Out on an Axes

The zoom in function lets you get a closer view of a portion of an axes. The zoom out function lets you view a larger portion of an axes.

To zoom in on a portion of axes:

1. Activate the zoom function by choosing the Zoom In option on the Tools menu or by clicking the Zoom In button in the toolbar.

   

2. Click on the area of the axes where you want to zoom in, or drag the cursor to draw a box around the area where you want to zoom in.

MATLAB redraws the axes, zooming in on the area you specified. To further magnify the area, click repeatedly in the axes or draw additional boxes in the axes. To end zoom in mode, click the Zoom In button.

Note    Properties of the axes, such as the tick marks, automatically adjust to the new magnification or orientation. Annotations do not.

To zoom out from an axes, click the Zoom Out button on the toolbar and then click on an area of the axes where you want to zoom out. To end zoom out mode, click the Zoom Out button.

The zoom buttons use the camzoom command.
