rlim

Sets or queries the radial limits of polar axes.

Category: Graphics > 2-D and 3-D Plots

Syntax

rlim([rmin rmax])

Sets the radial range.

lim = rlim

Returns the current radial limits.

rlim('auto')

Lets the axes choose the limits from the data.

m = rlim('mode')

Returns 'auto' or 'manual'.

Description

It acts on the current polar axes and is a shortcut for the RLim property. Setting a range turns the mode to manual, so later plots keep it.

Input arguments

[rmin rmax]
Two increasing numbers.
'auto', 'manual', 'tight'
Sets the limit mode.

Output arguments

lim
Two-element vector [rmin rmax].

Example

Fix the radial range

polarplot(1:3, 1:3)
rlim([0 5])
rlim
Output
ans = 1×2

     0     5
