Zooming in an extra axis?

Hi!

I have problems in zooming in my plot once it's done (in the Plot window that pops up as an output). I wanted to add a grid to my plot, but only in the horizontal lines and with a lighter color than the default one. I found somewhere in the Internet that the solution was to make an auxiliary axis, and the code for it. So far so good, but when zooming in my plot, i only get a zoom in the auxiliary axes and not in the ploted curves.

Here's what my figure looks like

and here's how it looks after zooming on it:

So, as you can see, the curves didn't get any zoom.

Here's my code (X is my matrix with the data):

    cc=jet(6);
    figure;
    hold on;
    month=[1:12];

    for i=1:5
        plot(month',X(:,i),'color',cc(i,:),...
                                'LineWidth',2);
        pbaspect([1.7 1 1]);
        xlim([1 12])
        set(gca,'XTick',1:1:12)
        set(gca,'XTickLabel', 'E','F','M','A','M','J','J','A','S','O','N','D'})
        ylabel('Tmax (ºC)')
        xl=xlabel(stid(k));
        set(xl,'FontSize',12);
        set(t,'Fontsize',12);
        legend('Media','Mediana','Análogo1','Pesado','Azar',3); 
    end

        hold on;
        B=gca;
        C = axes('Position',get(B,'Position'), ...
        'Color','none', 'TickLength',[1e-100 1e-100], ...
        'XGrid','off', 'YGrid','on', ...
        'Box','off','YColor',[0.5 0.5 0.5], ...
        'XTickLabel',[], 'YTickLabel',[], ...
        'XTick',get(B,'XTick'), 'YTick',get(B,'YTick'), ...
        'XLim',[1 12], 'YLim',get(hAx1,'YLim'));
        pbaspect([1.7 1 1]);

Any ideas on why is this happening?

Thanks in advance!

You should not need a second axis. You should just need to set XGrid off and YGrid on.

As i said, i also need another color line in the grid. So that's not much help.

[Walter Roberson]

Configure the new axes to have HitTest off.

[lightworks]

It's not working. I added

   set(C,'HitTest','off');

at the end of the code.

Is that what you ment?
