How to zoom into a figure in matlab GUI

I have the following piece of code that does what I want it to. I am having a hard time trying to get it to work for the figure on matlabs guide.

 h=gcf;
 set(h.Children,'Xlim',[lineLength-100 lineLength+100], 'Ylim',[nextLine-100 nextLine+100]);

How can I edit this/or the figure properties to get it to work?

Instead of h.children, use the actual names of the axes that you have placed on the GUI with GUIDE:

set(handles.axes1, .........);
set(handles.axes2, ...........);
etc.

Set whatever axes properties you want. This is the old way. The new way is to use OOP style

handles.axes1.XLim = [0 10];

or simply use the xlim() function

xlim(handles.axes1, [0, 10]);

Inside a callback for the GUI, assuming that you named the first parameter to the function hObject, then

h = findobj( ancestor(hObject, 'figure'), 'type', 'axes' );
set( h, ','Xlim',[lineLength-100 lineLength+100], 'Ylim',[nextLine-100 nextLine+100]);
