15.2.2.3 Axes Properties

position
A four-element vector specifying the coordinates of the lower left corner and width and height of the plot, in normalized units. For example, [0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5] sets the lower left corner of the axes at (0.2, 0.3) and the width and height to be 0.4 and 0.5 respectively.
title
Index of text object for the axes title.
box
Either "on" or "off" to toggle display of the box around the axes.
key
Either "on" or "off" to toggle display of the legend. Note that this property is not compatible with Matlab and may be removed in a future version of Octave.
keybox
Either "on" or "off" to toggle display of a box around the legend. Note that this property is not compatible with Matlab and may be removed in a future version of Octave.
keypos
An integer from 1 to 4 specifying the position of the legend. 1 indicates upper right corner, 2 indicates upper left, 3 indicates lower left, and 4 indicates lower right. Note that this property is not compatible with Matlab and may be removed in a future version of Octave.
dataaspectratio
A two-element vector specifying the relative height and width of the data displayed in the axes. Setting dataaspectratio to ‘1, 2]’ causes the length of one unit as displayed on the y axis to be the same as the length of 2 units on the x axis. Setting dataaspectratio also forces the dataaspectratiomode property to be set to "manual".
dataaspectratiomode
Either "manual" or "auto".
xlim
ylim
zlim
clim
Two-element vectors defining the limits for the x, y, and z axes and the Setting one of these properties also forces the corresponding mode property to be set to "manual".
xlimmode
ylimmode
zlimmode
climmode
Either "manual" or "auto".
xlabel
ylabel
zlabel
Indices to text objects for the axes labels.
xgrid
ygrid
zgrid
Either "on" or "off" to toggle display of grid lines.
xminorgrid
yminorgrid
zminorgrid
Either "on" or "off" to toggle display of minor grid lines.
xtick
ytick
ztick
Setting one of these properties also forces the corresponding mode property to be set to "manual".
xtickmode
ytickmode
ztickmode
Either "manual" or "auto".
xticklabel
yticklabel
zticklabel
Setting one of these properties also forces the corresponding mode property to be set to "manual".
xticklabelmode
yticklabelmode
zticklabelmode
Either "manual" or "auto".
xscale
yscale
zscale
Either "linear" or "log".
xdir
ydir
zdir
Either "forward" or "reverse".
xaxislocation
yaxislocation
Either "top" or "bottom" for the x axis and "left" or "right" for the y axis.
view
A three element vector specifying the view point for three-dimensional plots.
visible
Either "on" or "off" to toggle display of the axes.
nextplot
May be one of
"new"
"add"
"replace"
"replacechildren"
outerposition
A four-element vector specifying the coordinates of the lower left corner and width and height of the plot, in normalized units. For example, [0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5] sets the lower left corner of the axes at (0.2, 0.3) and the width and height to be 0.4 and 0.5 respectively.
