How to set the 3D rotation of a matlab graph using code

I can set axis properties with functions such as set. eg.

set(gca, 'XLim', [-1.5 1.5], 'YLim', [0 4.0], 'ZLim', [-1.0 2.0]);

But can I set the 3D rotation of the graph?

I would like the 3D graph to show the view where you are looking parallel down the x axis, so you can only see the z,y plane. i.e - so it justs looks like a 2D graph.

I cant just use a normal 2D graph because I am using the skeleton_viewer simulink block from the kinect simulink support package. I am trying to modify the skeleton_viewer.m file so that the default view is just of the z,y plane.

You have two main choices:

• by setting axes properties: have a look under the section entitled "View".
• by calling view function, which provides basic control over the azimuth and elevation of the viewpoint.
