Multiple axes plot more than 2 axes

Hi all,

I need to plot more than 6 y data for a single x data. These y data will not auto scale in a single plot.. what I was thinking of plotting with more than 2 y axes with different colour.. is there any functions in file exchange which can do this?

What about using the built-in yyaxis, or for older Matlab versions plotyy?

Serach in the FileExchange for "plotyy" to find e.g.:

• https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/46759-plotyn-m
• https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/9016-addaxis
• https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/4425-ploty4-m
• https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/1017-plotyyy

and many more submissions.

Hi Jan Simon,

Problem with yyaxis is that i can add only upto 2 scale ranges..

Thanks for the link i got what i was searching for.... what if i want to display only one axes in this multi-plot.(other axes to hide)

I'm building a gui where users adds signal to the y-data which will be displayed on a listbox. Now i want to plot all the selected signals in the same axes at auto range for each signals and display only the axes of the selected signal in the listbox(no multiselect)...

I'm not sure, what you are asking for. You can normalize all signals to the range [-1, +1] and use a listbox or the ButtonDownFcn of the drawn lines to display different tick labels on the Y axis, while the tick values remain the same. Or you can set the (undocumented) property 'YLimInclude' of all but the currently focused line to 'off'. Then the auto-scaling considers the active line only.

Hi Jan, Solved the problem with creating new axes for every signals and setting axes color to none and for getting different color used the below function, https://in.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/42673-beautiful-and-distinguishable-line-colors-+-colormap

Thanks for the help again..
