Problem with HitTest. I can not zoom on ax1 when ax2 is on top of it. The code works in Matlab 2012b.

I have to axes ax1 and ax2 on top of each other. I want to make ax2 invisible and then zoom on ax1.

This I could in Matlab 2012b but it does not work in 2015a. Pickableparts property that is introduced in 2015a is set to visible for both ax1 and ax2. HitTest property is on for ax1 and off for ax2 Visible property is on for ax1 and off ax2

Why can I not zoom on ax1 then?

h=figure(1);

ax1 = axes( ... 'Units','normalized', ... 'Position',[ 0.1 0.1 0.8 0.8]);

ax2 = axes( ... 'Units','normalized', ... 'Position',get(ax1,'Position'),... 'YAxisLocation','right',... 'Color','none');

set(ax2,'visible','off') set(ax2,'HitTest','off')

Hi,

I'm not yet sure, why this happens. Programmatically you can change the behavior to the desired as follows:

hz = zoom(h);
hz.Enable = 'on'
setAllowAxesZoom(hz, ax2, false)

I'll have a look why your approach does not work ...

Thanks but it seems pretty weird that it should be necessary to do the above approach.

Agreed ... as I wrote, I'm still investigating...

thanks, I appreciate it.

I got an answer from mathworks and it is due to a bug in 2015a version
