how can i rotate a figure without using the figure window but using code

Hello everybody,

I have a .fig file with an object. Now I want to rotate and translate this object in the figure but I don't want to use the buttons from the figure window. I tried to write the code for this problem but I had no success until now. Do I have to use the "set" function ?

You can change the 'view' to rotate, for example

set(gca,'view',[90 90])

You can then work with the 'xlim' and 'ylim' to zoom or translate.

Use view, e.g.

view(180,90)
