I have a step function plot in matlab. I want to reverse the y axis so that the initial value is at the top and also the x axis start from that point only.

Thank you for your answer. I have used stairs for my code to make step function. Could you please suggest me any other way to make step function with the y axis reversed? Thanks

• You could adjust the axes CameraPosition and CameraTarget so that you are looking at the scene from "below" so that the axes is reversed from the normal
• You could create a hggroup() that you parent your stairs plot in, and then use hgtransform() to reverse top and bottom for it
• Instead of stairs(Y) you could stairs(SomeConstant - Y)
