How to select first entry of multiple xlim

Hello,

imagine I have subplots like

for i=1:2
   ax = subplot(1,2,i)
   xlim(ax(1),[0 130])
   xlim(ax(2),[0 140])
end

How can I select only the first xlim entry of ax(1)? I tried this command:

x1 = xlim(ax(1),1); and several other combinations. Best regards Henrik

The question is not clear. After ax = subplot(1,2,i), ax is a scalar, such that "ax(2)" should fail.

Perhaps you mean:

for i=1:2
  ax    = subplot(1,2,i)
  axLim = get(ax, 'XLim');
  x1    = axLim(1);
end

Or do you want to set the left X-limit keeping the automatic limit on the right?

for i=1:2
  ax    = subplot(1,2,i)
  axLim = get(ax, 'XLim');
  xlim(ax, [130, axLim(2)]);
end
