Programmatically change stackedplot ticks in live editor

I have a stackedplot in a live script where I want to scale up the x axis labels - the values are e.g. 0.01, which i would like to read 10 without changing the data or having to adjust existing limits.

In a regular plot, that works by just editing the XTickLabels. For the stackedplot, a trick is needed to access the axis properties as described here: https://de.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/486898-change-yticks-using-a-stacked-plot#answer_550223

In a normal script, the following code works fine, but in a live script, the plot does not change even though the axis property has changed as the output of the last line confirms.

x = [0 0.01 0.02 0.03];
y1 = [1 2 3 4]';
y2 = [4 3 2 1]';

s = stackedplot(x, [y1 y2]);
xlim([0 0.02]);

axs = findobj(s.NodeChildren, 'Type', 'Axes');
axs(1).XTickLabel = num2str(axs(1).XTick'*1000);

axs(1).XTickLabel

ans = 11×2 char array
    ' 0'
    ' 2'
    ' 4'
    ' 6'
    ' 8'
    '10'
    '12'
    '14'
    '16'
    '18'
    '20'

How do I get the live script plot to change?

What is wrong with just scaling the x-axis within stackedplot?

s = stackedplot(x * 1000, [y1 y2]);

This doesn't change the data and does what you want. Or am I missing something?

@Paul Kaufmann scaling the values in the input to the plot requires changing the axis limits. I already have a number of plots with these x-axis values and I would like a "drop-in" solution to scale the axes without changing all the limits. I'll add that in the question.

Hi Lima,

I understand you wish to have custom XtickLabel in the live script's 'stackedplot' function call. The issue is due to the cause that ' stackedplot ' is not updating the 'XtickLabel' as it should do, although our development team is aware of the issue and investigating.

Refer to the 'stackedplot' MATLAB Documentation page for more information.
