How to draw a line from the variable y-axis

3 views (last 30 days)
Hi
I am making a 2D plot. The x-axis is located at y = 0, but I do not know the position of the y-axis, it depends on the results. Is there a way to find the x position of the y-axis? (I do not want a fixed location of the y-axis, as it should depend on the results.)
Regards

YOu should have both (X,y_ in hand t plot. Or you have to plot w.r.t indices. YOur question is not clear.

Ok. I'm trying to make a line from the x-axis to my chosen result point, and a line from the y-axis to the result. For a line from the x-axis I did this:
plot([resultX resultX], [0 resultY])
For a line from the y-axis I would do something of the nature to:
plot(["(y-axis location on x-axis)" resultX],[resultY resultY])
I do not know what to use for y-axis location on x-axis, as the location varies. I don't quite understand what information is missing, hopefully this clears it up.

You can use xlim() and ylim() to determine the limits of the axes that MATLAB used and drew on your graph
xLimits = xlim();
yLimits = ylim();
