ytickangle

Rotatey-axis tick labels

Syntax

ytickangle(angle)
ytickangle(ax,angle)
ang = ytickangle
ang = ytickangle(ax)

Description

example

ytickangle(angle)rotates they-axis tick labels for the current axes to the specified angle in degrees, where0is horizontal. Specify a positive value for counterclockwise rotation or a negative value for clockwise rotation.

example

ytickangle(ax,angle)rotates the tick labels for the axes specified byaxinstead of the current axes.

example

ang= ytickanglereturns the rotation angle for they-axis tick labels of the current axes as a scalar value in degrees. Positive values indicate counterclockwise rotation. Negative values indicate clockwise rotation.

ang= ytickangle(ax)uses the axes specified byaxinstead of the current axes.

Examples

collapse all

Create a stem chart and rotate they-axis tick labels 90 degrees so that they appear vertically.

x = linspace(0,50,20); y = x.^2; stem(x,y) ytickangle(90)

Create a figure with two subplots and return the axes objects asax1andax2. Rotate they-axis tick labels for the lower subplot by specifyingax2as the first input argument toytickangle.

ax1 = subplot(2,1,1); plot(rand(6)) ax2 = subplot(2,1,2); plot(rand(6)) ytickangle(ax2,45)

Create a stem chart. Then, query the rotation angle for they-axis tick labels. By default, the labels are not rotated.

x = linspace(0,50,20); y = x.^2; stem(x,y)

ang = ytickangle
ang = 0

Input Arguments

collapse all

Rotation of tick labels, specified as a scalar value in degrees, where 0 is horizontal.

Example:ytickangle(90)

Target axes, specified as a singleAxesobject or a vector ofAxes对象。如果你不specify the axes, thenytickangleuses the current axes.

Algorithms

Theytickanglefunction sets and queries theYTickLabelRotationproperty of theAxesobject.
