<h2>2.2: Axes inside layouts&nbsp;<a href="User_guide2.html"><img src="Images/uparrow.png" border="0" align="top" alt="Go back up one level"/></a></h2>
<p>(The code for this example can be found here:
[ <a href="Examples/axesexample.m">view</a>
| <a href="matlab: edit(fullfile(layoutDocRoot,'Examples','axesexample.m'))">edit</a>
| <a href="matlab: p=pwd();cd(fullfile(layoutDocRoot,'Examples')); axesexample; cd(p)">run</a> ]
)</p>
<p>
When using layouts to position axes, the position property
is set by the layout, not the user. Whether the <code>Position</code>
or <code>OuterPosition</code> property is used is determined by the
<code>ActivePositionProperty</code> property of the <a href="matlab:doc axes"><code class="FUNCTION">axes</code></a>.
Note that the default setting is "outerposition".
</p>
<p>
The following example illustrates the two usages.
</p>
<h4>Open a window</h4>
<p>Open a new figure window and remove the toolbar and menus.</p>
<example><pre style="background-color: #eeeeff; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px"><font color="#000011">window = <a href="matlab:doc figure"><code class="FUNCTION">figure</code></a>( 'Name', 'Axes inside layouts', ...
'MenuBar', 'none', ...
'Toolbar', 'none', ...
'NumberTitle', 'off' );</font></pre>
</example>
<h4>Create the layout</h4>
<p>The layout involves two axes side by side. This is done using a flexible horizontal box. The left-hand axes is left with the <code>ActivePositionProperty</code> set to "outerposition", but the right-hand axes is switched to use <code>Position</code>.</p>
<example><pre style="background-color: #eeeeff; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px"><font color="#000011">hbox = <a href="uix.HBoxFlex.html"><code class="FUNCTION">uix.HBoxFlex</code></a>('Parent', window, 'Spacing', 3);
axes1 = <a href="matlab:doc axes"><code class="FUNCTION">axes</code></a>( 'Parent', hbox, ...
'ActivePositionProperty', 'outerposition' );
axes2 = <a href="matlab:doc axes"><code class="FUNCTION">axes</code></a>( 'Parent', hbox, ...
'ActivePositionProperty', 'Position' );
set( hbox, 'Widths', [-2 -1] );</font></pre>
<p style="background-color: #ddddee; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px"><font color="#000022"><center><img src="Images/axes_layout_example_2.png"/></center></font></p>
</example>
<h4>Fill the axes</h4>
<p>Using <code>OuterPosition</code> (left-hand axes) is the normal mode and looks good for virtually any plot type. Using <code>Position</code> is only really useful for 2D plots with the axes turned off, such as images.</p>
<example><pre style="background-color: #eeeeff; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px"><font color="#000011">x = membrane( 1, 15 );
<a href="matlab:doc surf"><code class="FUNCTION">surf</code></a>( axes1, x );
<a href="matlab:doc lighting"><code class="FUNCTION">lighting</code></a>( axes1, 'gouraud' );
<a href="matlab:doc shading"><code class="FUNCTION">shading</code></a>( axes1, 'interp' );
l = <a href="matlab:doc light"><code class="FUNCTION">light</code></a>( 'Parent', axes1 );
<a href="matlab:doc camlight"><code class="FUNCTION">camlight</code></a>( l, 'head' );
<a href="matlab:doc axis"><code class="FUNCTION">axis</code></a>( axes1, 'tight' );
<a href="matlab:doc imagesc"><code class="FUNCTION">imagesc</code></a>( x, 'Parent', axes2 );
set( axes2, 'xticklabel', [], 'yticklabel', [] );</font></pre>
<p style="background-color: #ddddee; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px"><font color="#000022"><center><img src="Images/axes_layout_example_3.png"/></center></font></p>
