addaxis_unit

Answer to Claudio Gelmi: plotyy plots two datasets into one figure. This function here plots one dataset with two different units.

Hi Friedhelm, great idea for a utility function! I have a slightly different use-case than the example you provided. In my case, I would like to have different units on the right-side axis, but I would like the right-side axis ticks to match up exactly with the left-side axis ticks. For example, let's say my left-axis tick labels are the values (1:10) and I would like to see what the log of those values are on the opposite axis. Would it be possible to achieve this using your function? Thanks, Brad

Hi Friedhelm, thank you for updating the function per my previous request. I was hoping to be able to control the string formatting when the 'y1' ticks2unit option is specified. It appears that the formatting could be specified by modifying the num2str() calls in lines 146 & 175, a la:

set(hAxes(2),'yticklabel',num2str(ticks2unit,'%4.2f'))

This hack works as long as the figure is *not* resized. For some reason, my modification fails during resizing with the error:

??? Error using ==> set
Invalid parameter/value pair arguments

Error in ==> addaxis_unit>addaxis_unit_resizefcn at 175
        set(HAXES(i+1),'yticklabel',num2str(ticks2unit),'%4.2f')
 
??? Error while evaluating figure ResizeFcn

Any help or suggestions appreciated. Thank you again. ~Brad

Hi Friedhelm, thanks for all the function updates. I really appreciate your responsiveness & openness. I wanted to let you know about a new possible issue. After the chart is rendered, the user should be able to select a plotted point & add an annotation using the Data Cursor tool, right? This isn't working for me after I run the addaxis_unit function. Could you please take a look? Thanks, Brad
