How to make grid lines visible while Axis is invisible?

17 visualizaciones (últimos 30 días)
Hi, I am developing a GUI in which I have two plots, current and voltage (see below). I am using 3 axes, a big one whos X-Axis displays the time, two smaller axes on top of this big axes, I plot current and voltage in these two smaller top axes. The visibility of the smaller axes is set to 0 and only the visibility of their Y-Axis is switched on afterwards. This gives it an impression that both current and voltage are plotted on the bigger axes on which X-Axis serves as time axis. I can do all this, however, I would like to switch on the YGrid of the two smaller axis while keeping the axis itself invisible. I have tried different methods, such as setting the YGrid property to 'on' and using 'grid on' command, but nothing works. Can it be done?

Chaitanya - to be clear, the axes object is hidden (visible property set to off or false) yet you want to show the YGrid lines for that hidden axes object?

Yes Geoff. I figured that if I can only show the Y-Axis while the rest of the Axes is hidden then there might be a way to just enable the visible property of the YGrid for the same axis without making the the rest of the Axes (i.e. XGrid, X-Axis, Background, etc) visible.

I found the workaround of this problem by chaning the background of the axes to transparent using below code
set(Ax,'Color','none');

The question is a little bit confusing for me. An invisible axes does not have visible properties. But you can create a visible axes and hide what you want:
ax = axes;
ax.XGrid = 'on';
ax.YGrid = 'on';
ax.XTick = [];
ax.YTick = [];
ax.XAxis.Visible = 'off';
ax.YAxis.Visible = 'off';

Hi Jan, I can understand your confusion. Creating a visible axes means the background of the axes is still visible, I would like to make the background and everything else invisible, and then make only a few selected properties, such as YAxis and YGrid, visible.
