Linking x and y axis zoom in subplot

Hi I am trying to link the x and y axis of these subplots together for when the user uses the mouse wheel to scroll i would like both to be zoomed in.

See linkprop()

Link the xlim and ylim properties.

Or use or linkaxes()

Here's a demo. It uses tiledlayout instead of subplot but you can easily apply this to subplot as well by replacing "nexttile" with "subplot(___)" and removing "tiledlayout".

x = rand(1,100)-.5 *10; 
y = rand(1,100)-.5 * 5; 
figure()
tiledlayout(1,2)
h(1) = nexttile; 
plot(h(1), x,y,'o')

h(2) = nexttile; 
plot(h(2), x,y,'o')

linkprop(h, {'xlim','ylim'})
% OR
% linkaxes(h)

What would I use instead of the H?

[Adam Danz]

H are the axis handles.

Example

h(1) = subplot(1,2,1); 
h(2) = subplot(1,2,2):
linkaxes(h)

or

sp1 = subplot(1,2,1); 
sp2 = subplot(1,2,2); 
linkaxes([sp1,sp2])
