Graphics

Multiple Axes for Different Scaling

You can create multiple axes to display graphics objects with different scaling without changing the data that defines these objects (which would be required to display them in a single axes).

• h(1) = axes('Position',[0 0 1 1]);
  sphere
  h(2) = axes('Position',[0 0 .4 .6]);
  sphere
  h(3) = axes('Position',[0 .5 .5 .5]);
  sphere
  h(4) = axes('Position',[.5 0 .4 .4]);
  sphere
  h(5) = axes('Position',[.5 .5 .5 .3]);
  sphere
  set(h,'Visible','off')
  
  
  

Each sphere is defined by the same data. However, since the parent axes occupy regions of different size and location, the spheres appear to be different sizes and shapes.
