Hello,
the following minimal code
t=linspace(0,10*%pi,200);
subplot(1,2,1)
param3d(cos(t),sin(t),t/20)
ax1=gca();
ax1.isoview='on';
subplot(1,2,2)
param3d(cos(t),sin(t),t/20)
ax2=gca();
ax2.isoview='on';
generates two identical subplots. How can I replace the repetition of the param3d just by copying ax1 into subplot(1,2,2)?
Regards, Jens
Hello,
In fact Scilab can copy only entities which are descendents of Axes and cannot copy Axes themselves (maybe we can work on that, feel free to open an issue). In your case it takes far more lines to set properties of the second Axes than your actual code:
t=linspace(0,10*%pi,200);
subplot(1,2,1)
param3d(cos(t),sin(t),t/20)
h=gce();
ax1=gca();
ax1.isoview='on';
subplot(1,2,2)
ax2=gca();
ax2.isoview='on';
ax2.data_bounds=ax1.data_bounds;
ax2.view=ax1.view;
ax2.axes_visible=ax1.axes_visible;
ax2.rotation_angles=ax1.rotation_angles;
ax2.box=ax1.box;
copy(h,ax2)
Thanks a lot! As a workaround I will simulate subplots by separate figures positioned properly across the screen. That will work fine.
Hi,
out of curiosity I thought it might be possible to define a function that copies all entites from one axis handle to another one.
Turns out: possible, but if it is useful and generally applicable ?
Not so sure…but anyways… 
Note: I am not sure, why the code block is separated in between…
function axis_handle_out = copyAxisEntities(axis_handle_in, axis_handle_out)
// input: source axis hande
// destination axis handle as it is after creation
//
// output: destination axis handle with copies of input axis handle entities

Hi philipp
A nice way to copy into subplots!
Another way that leads to the same end is to ignore copy() and write a function instead.
function comax(t,titletex,ax)
param3d(cos(t),sin(t),t/20)
xtitle(titletex)
ax.isoview=‘on’;
ax.title.font_size = 4
ax.x_label.text = ‘myX’;
ax.y_label.text = ‘myY’;
ax.z_label.text = ‘myZ’;
endfunction
close(winsid())
t=linspace(0,10*%pi,200);
subplot(1,2,1)
comax(t,‘First title’,gca())
subplot(1,2,2)
comax(t,‘Second title’,gca())
