How do I add 2 Y axis to my MATLAB Plot?

Question

I know this question has been asked before - but none of them deal with a 3D plot with 2 Y axis. My question is a continuation of - How do I add a 2D Plot along with a surface or mesh plot in MATLAB? or this .

I have now successfully managed to add a 2D plot along with a surface plot. See image below - Now my problem is that the range of the 2D plot is so high that the 3D plot is shrunk to look like nothing more than a plane on the ceiling. It is supposed to have variations like the figure in the question I have lined above.

How do I provide a different Y axis for the 2D plot so that the 3D plot is not shrunk like it is here.

Answer 1

It's possible that you can use the DataAspectRatio property to accomplish this. Taking inspiration from the example from the previous post, if we have:

 z=peaks(100);
 x1=linspace(0,100);
 plot3(x1,0*ones(1,numel(x1)),40*sin(x1))
 surface(z+40, 'edgecolor', 'none');

and then you can use

set( gca, 'dataaspectratio', [1.25 1.25 .7] )
view( [-37.5 18] )

can work in some cases to help regain some of the range on the surface plot. This method won't work, however, in very extreme cases.
