Why does the MATLAB command axis auto sometimes not change the axis limits after zooming in on a plot?

hard📝 Conceptual Q10 of 15
MATLAB - 2D Plotting
Why does the MATLAB command axis auto sometimes not change the axis limits after zooming in on a plot?
ABecause axis limits are manually set and auto does not override manual limits
BBecause axis auto only works before any plot commands
CBecause axis auto disables zoom functionality
DBecause axis auto resets the plot data
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Understand axis auto behavior

    axis auto lets MATLAB choose axis limits automatically unless limits were manually set.

  2. Step 2: Effect of manual limits

    If axis limits were set manually, axis auto does not override them, so zooming may not update limits.

  3. Final Answer:

    Because axis limits are manually set and auto does not override manual limits -> Option A

  4. Quick Check:

    Manual limits block axis auto changes [OK]
Quick Trick: Manual axis limits prevent axis auto from changing limits [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Thinking axis auto disables zoom
  • Assuming axis auto resets data
  • Believing axis auto only works before plot
