Zoom on multible figure at the same time

How to zoom in on all figure´s at the same time

either use xlim on all plots or this : Synchronize limits of multiple axes - MATLAB linkaxes - MathWorks France

Hi Steen,

I understand you want to zoom in on all figures at the same time. For this purpose, we have to link the axes of all the figures together and set common axes limits .

Please follow the example implementation for the same.

% Create the first figure and plot in it 
fig1 = figure; 
plot(1:10, rand(1,10)); % Example plot 
ax1 = gca; % Get the axes of the first figure 

% Create the second figure and plot in it 
fig2 = figure; 
plot(1:10, rand(1,10)); % Example plot 
ax2 = gca; % Get the axes of the second figure 

%Create the third figure and plot in it 
fig3 = figure; 
plot(1:10, rand(1,10)); % Example plot 
ax3 = gca; % Get the axes of the third figure 

% Create the fourth figure and plot in it 
fig4 = figure; 
plot(1:10, rand(1,10)); % Example plot 
ax4 = gca; % Get the axes of the fourth figure 
linkaxes([ax1, ax2 , ax3, ax4], 'xy'); % Link the x and y axes of all the axes 

% Set common axes limits 
xlim(ax1, [1,10]); % Set the x-axis limits 
ylim(ax1, [0, 1]); % Set the y-axis limits 

On replicating the example above on matlab, you will be able to zoom in all figures simultaneously.

For more information, please refer to documentation of 'linkaxes' function:

Hope this helps.
