2006a zoom WindowButtonDownFcn cannot be changed

Hi,

a couple of Matlab versions ago I wrote a tool for displaying data in a
multi-axes figure window. One feature of this tool was a functionality
which allowed all the axes in one figure window to have the same x
limits - especially in case one was zooming in one of the axes. All
other axes would change dynamically after zooming.

To achieve this, the WindowButtonDownFcn of the figure was extended
after activating zoom mode in a way like:

1) Do some backup of all xlims
2) original WindowButtonDownFcn in zoom mode (zooming in)
3) adjust all axes x limits according to the zoomed axes.

Since version 2006a this isn't working any more. This message is generated:

Warning: Setting the "WindowButtonDownFcn" property is not permitted
while this mode is active.
> In uitools.uimodemanager.uimodemanager>localModeWarn at 55

Ok, obviously setting WBDFcn while in zoom mode is forbidden in newer
versions. Can anybody give me a hint how to get my code working again?
Is there a description of the uimodemanager stuff?
Thanks in advance.

Regards,
-Alex.

Hi Alex,
fortunately life got easier for this kind of things:
use linkaxes to connect the multiple axis.

Hi Titus,

thanks, looks good. It seems that part of my code is superfluous - what
a pity.

There's still a problem. After zooming, I'd like some axis properties
(i.e. labels) to get changed. For that, I've written my own functions
(which in previous versions has been called by the already mentioned
changed wbdf in zoom mode - see other post). So, I'm looking for a way
to call my function(s) after Matlab has finished the zooming. Is that
possible?

TIA.

Regards,
-Alex.

Hi Alex,
yes indeed, one of my new favourites (the reason I once
overloaded zoom myself...), but unfortunately available
only in R2006b, perhaps you can upgrade?
Look into the doc (e.g. on MathWorks homepage) for
zoom for the property 'ActionPostCallback'.

I hope that I'll be able to upgrade quite soon.

Thanks for your hint. This property will be very useful.
