Hi, part of my code is:

subplot(1,2,1);  
plot(x1,ugol,‘-o’);  
f=gcf();  
f.figure\_position=[100,100];  
f.children.tight\_limits=“on”;  
f.children.auto\_scale=“on”;  
f.children.data\_bounds=[-10,10,-20,20];  
xgrid();

subplot(1,2,2);  
plot(S10,Gr,‘–’);  
xgrid();  
f=gcf();  
f.children.tight\_limits=“on”;  
f.children.auto\_scale=“off”;  
f.children.data\_bounds=[G1,G2,-200,200];

The first graph was drawing in needed margins [-10,20,-20,20]. But the second graph have not needed margines - [G1,G2,-200,200]. How can I get access to margines of second graph?

Hello,

You should try with:

```auto
a1 = subplot(1,2,1);
plot(x1,ugol,‘-o’);
f=gcf();
f.figure_position=[100,100];
a1.tight_limits=“on”;
a1.auto_scale=“on”;
a1.data_bounds=[-10,10,-20,20];
xgrid();

a2 = subplot(1,2,2);
plot(S10,Gr,‘–’);
xgrid();
a2.tight_limits=“on”;
a2.auto_scale=“off”;
a2.data_bounds=[G1,G2,-200,200];

```

Best regards.
