Copying zoom parameters across different figures

[Matt J]

I have two image figures.

figure(1); imagesc(...)
figure(2); imagesc(...)

I use the zoom tool to magnify a portion of one of figure(1). I would then like to apply the same zoom parameters to figure(2). Is there an easy way to programmatically extract the zoom parameters of one and copy them to the second?

Use LINKAXES

Thanks. That actually put me on the trail of linkprops, which is even better for what I need.

A follow-up question. I would like to synchronize all figure properties, including, for example, the data tip. I.e., if I turn the data tip on in one figure, I'd like it to be turned on in the other automatically. I tried using linkprop(), but it doesn't seem to accept the WindowButton* properties as linkable. Is there a way to do this?

It has been a while since this was posted, but I found a solution that will work for a one-time "copy" of zoom parameters from one figure to another.

First, have the figure with desired zoom parameters selected or in focus.
Then, use
>> myaxes = axis
to get the current axis scaling and appearance.

Finally, select the target axis that will be updated and use
>> axis(gca, myaxes)
to apply the saved axis limits.

Good!
