Code does not show the effect in .mlx but when run in command window it will show the effect and how to make the labels in bold

Hello master's

I'm not sure about this if some command won't run in .mlx becuase if i run my code with this code

clc, clearvars, close all
data1=readtable("FTIR.xlsx", 'PreserveVariableNames',true);
x1=data1.("F1(DCM_eluted)");

FF1_DCM_eluted=data1.("y1");
FF2_THF_eluted=data1.("y2");
FF3_EA_eluted=data1.("y3");
FF4_MeOH_eluted=data1.("y4");
FF5_H2O_eluted=data1.("y5");
Fwhole_sugar=data1.("y6");

figure()
h=stackedplot(x1,[FF1_DCM_eluted,FF2_THF_eluted,FF3_EA_eluted, ...
    FF4_MeOH_eluted,FF5_H2O_eluted,Fwhole_sugar]);
%labels
 h.XLabel = {'Wavenumber (cm^-1)'};
 h.DisplayLabels = {'','','','','',''};
 h.AxesProperties(1).LegendLabels = {'F1-DCM-eluted'};
 h.AxesProperties(1).LegendVisible = 'on';
 h.AxesProperties(1).LegendLocation = 'northwest';
 h.AxesProperties(2).LegendLabels = {'F2-THF-eluted'};
 h.AxesProperties(2).LegendVisible = 'on';
 h.AxesProperties(2).LegendLocation = 'northwest';
 h.AxesProperties(3).LegendLabels = {'F3-EA-eluted'};
 h.AxesProperties(3).LegendVisible = 'on';
 h.AxesProperties(3).LegendLocation = 'northwest';
 h.AxesProperties(4).LegendLabels = {'F4-MeOH-eluted'};
 h.AxesProperties(4).LegendVisible = 'on';
 h.AxesProperties(4).LegendLocation = 'northwest';
 h.AxesProperties(5).LegendLabels = {'F5-H2O-eluted'};
 h.AxesProperties(5).LegendVisible = 'on';
 h.AxesProperties(5).LegendLocation = 'northwest';
 h.AxesProperties(6).LegendLabels = {'Whole Sugar'};
 h.AxesProperties(6).LegendVisible = 'on';
 h.AxesProperties(6).LegendLocation = 'northwest';
 %colors
 h.LineProperties(1).Color = 'r';
 h.LineProperties(2).Color = 'g';
 h.LineProperties(3).Color = 'b';
 h.LineProperties(4).Color = 'm';
 h.LineProperties(5).Color = 'c';
 h.LineProperties(6).Color = 'k';
%linewidth
 h.LineProperties(1).LineWidth = 2;
 h.LineProperties(2).LineWidth = 2;
 h.LineProperties(3).LineWidth = 2;
 h.LineProperties(4).LineWidth = 2;
 h.LineProperties(5).LineWidth = 2;
 h.LineProperties(6).LineWidth = 2;

%this two last line of code will not show any effect in .mlx file but running in command window it will show effect
 ax = findobj(h.NodeChildren, 'Type','Axes'); 
 set(ax, 'XTick', 500:500:4000, 'XLim', [500,4000],'XDir','reverse');

of Adam Danz it will not show any effect

but if i run it in the command window it will show this

I am not sure why you say that it will not show any effect? The top plot does show a reversed x axes which is what you want.

Hi walter thanks for pointing out the top picture is what I want which is I run using the command window the bottom picture is what i run in .mlx file. (Ill edit and swap the picture thanks)

Hi Stark,

I was able to reproduce the same issue in my device.

I have found out that after you use the "set()" function, the axes properties change but the output is not updated in the MATLAB Live Script output pane.

I suggest you to use normal MATLAB script ('.m' file) instead of MATLAB Live Script ('.mlx' files) to get the correct output.

If you still want to use '.mlx' file, one workaround is to save the figure and analyse that.

% before you define h
f = figure

% at the end
saveas(f,'f.png');

You can see that the saved figure has the correct properties.

You can also flip your data by using the fliplr() function and plot that. However, please note that this won't change the xTicks.

Thanks @Yash
