I have alot of data spread horizontally across my figure and I would like the user to be able to scroll across the figure to see data that cannot be displayed on the screen.

Easiest in my opinion is to use a panel as container for all controls you want to move. A minimal example is the following:
function test
hf=figure;
hpanel=uipanel('position',[0 .05 2 .95]);
hscrollbar=uicontrol('style','slider','units','normalized','position',[0 0 1 .05],'callback',@hscroll_Callback);
axes('parent',hpanel,'outerposition',[.25 0 .5 1])
plot(rand(5))
function hscroll_Callback(src,evt)
set(hpanel,'position',[-get(src,'value') 0.05 2 .95])
end
end
Best regards, Michael

I made a scroll bar class Linked here. If you want to scroll through a plot horizontally use the function:
- scrollablePlot({'XData', xdata, 'YData', ydata,_other plot properties_}, {'X'});
