multiple axis joint rotation

hi!
I have used scatter3 to plot 3 different data sets that are contained within the same volume (x,y,z)
the problem is I would like for the 3 data sets to rotate together along any axis. How can i do that?
I have tried using this code
t = tiledlayout(1,1);
axcb1 = axes(t);
axcb2 = axes(t);
axcb3 = axes(t);
axcb2.Visible = 'off';
axcb1.Visible = 'off';
linkdata on
%hlink = linkprop([axcb1,axcb2,axcb3],{'CameraPosition','CameraUpVector'});
rotate3d on
also I tried linking the axes with
linkaxes(t.Children)
but it tells me it is only for a maximum of 2 axis
is there any way I can link all data together?
because when i click the rotation icon, only one data set rotates and it looks like it is in another plane
i attach an image for reference

Does this do it?
hlink = linkprop([axcb1,axcb2,axcb3],'View')
Actually, if this does it, then uncommenting the linkprop line would work as well, I would think

it didn't :(
only the last data set moves when rotating, the ones plotted first don't

hlink = linkprop([axcb1,axcb2,axcb3],{'CameraViewAngle','CameraPosition','CameraUpVector'})

doesn't work either :(
in fact, it only plots one point of one data set

The code I gave you doesn't have any plotting commands. That must be coming from somewhere else.

If so, why are you attempting to put them in 3 different axes? Why not just use hold on and hold off to add them to the same axes. That way, you don't have to fuss with axis linking, e.g.,
for i=1:3
X=rand(5,1); Y=rand(5,1); Z=rand(5,1);
scatter3(X,Y,Z,'filled','SizeData',50)
hold on
end
hold off

I used hold on and hold off, and 3 axis are shown (x-y-z)
The problem is that the data sets do not rotate together.
Only the last data set to be plotted is rotating and the others do not move at all.

But you showed us a section of your code where you are creating 3 separate axes.
axcb1 = axes(t);
axcb2 = axes(t);
axcb3 = axes(t);
That shouldn't be there if you're following what I outlined. I suggest you attach a .mat file containing your data and also post the complete code that plots them, so we can better see what's going on.

Hello,
In addition to the above suggestions, you can also try the view([azimuth_angle elevation_angle]). You can also refer to the examples in the link here for more information.
