StackedAxesProperties Properties
Appearance and behavior of individual axes in stacked plot
StackedAxesProperties properties control the appearance and behavior of individual _y_-axes in a stacked plot. In a stacked plot, you can plot the variables of a table or timetable, or the columns of a matrix, in separate _y_-axes, stacked vertically. By changing property values, you can modify certain aspects of the stacked plot.
The stackedplot function returns aStackedLineChart object. In turn, this object has an array ofStackedAxesProperties objects, named AxesProperties. To set properties of an individual _y_-axis, index intoAxesProperties and access properties of the corresponding object.
You can use dot notation to query and set properties. For example, change _y_-limits of the third plot using itsYLimits property.
T = readtable("outages.csv"); s = stackedplot(T); c = s.AxesProperties(3).YLimits s.AxesProperties(3).YLimits = [0 1e6];
Minimum and maximum _y_-axis limits, specified as a two-element vector of the form [min max], where max is greater than min. You can specify the limits as numeric, categorical, datetime, or duration values. However, the type of values that you specify must match the type of values along the axis.
You can specify both limits or you can specify one limit and let the axes automatically calculate the other. For an automatically calculated minimum or maximum limit, use -inf or inf, respectively.
Example: s.AxesProperties(3).YLimits = [0 1e6]
Example: s.AxesProperties(3).YLimits = [-inf 1e6]
Example: s.AxesProperties(3).YLimits = [0 inf]
Data Types: double | single | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64 | categorical | datetime | duration
Linear or log scale for the _y_-axis, specified as "linear" or "log".
Example: s.AxesProperties(3).YScale = "log"
Legend labels, specified as a string array or cell array of character vectors. If you do not specify labels, then the labels are variable names (for tables and timetables) or "Column _`N`_" (for the_`N`_th column of a matrix).
Legends do not display unless the LegendVisible property is set to "on".
Example: s.AxesProperties(1).LegendLabels = ["Label 1","Label 2"]
Location with respect to the axes, specified as one of the location values listed in this table.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| "north" | Inside top of axes |
| "south" | Inside bottom of axes |
| "east" | Inside right of axes |
| "west" | Inside left of axes |
| "northeast" | Inside top-right of axes (default for 2-D axes) |
| "northwest" | Inside top-left of axes |
| "southeast" | Inside bottom-right of axes |
| "southwest" | Inside bottom-left of axes |
Example: s.AxesProperties(2).LegendLocation = "southeast"
State of legend visibility, specified as "on" or"off". Set LegendVisible to"on" to display the legend or "off" to hide the legend.
Example: s.AxesProperties(3).LegendVisible = "on"
Indicator to collapse the legend, specified as "on" or"off". If the stacked plot comes from multiple tables or timetables, set CollapseLegend to "on" to enable legend collapsing behavior or "off" to disable.
Example: s.AxesProperties(3).CollapseLegend = "on"
