How to draw yline on yyaxis on right hand axis?

19 views (last 30 days)
Hi i am trying to draw a constant line at y axis in a plot for a mean. The issue is yline functions does not plot the yline on right hand axis, does not matter how i input the argument under yyaxis right but when i input the argument under yyaxis left, it plots. Maybe there is something wrong in my code, some can point it out to me.
f6=figure
colororder({'green','red'})
yyaxis right
plot(T2_filtered,"Datetime","Global solar irradiance","LineStyle","-",'Marker','.','MarkerEdgeColor',rgb('brown'))
hold on
ax=gca % tried with and without
yline(mean(T2_filtered.("Global solar irradiance")))% also tried , calaculating mean beforehand
plot(T2_filtered,"Datetime","Emitted longwave irradiance","LineStyle","-","Marker",'.','MarkerEdgeColor',rgb('black'))
ylabel("Irradiance [W/m^2]")
yyaxis left
plot(T2_filtered,"Datetime","Reflected shortwave Irradiance",'LineStyle','-','Marker','.','MarkerEdgeColor',rgb('orange'))
plot(T2_filtered,"Datetime","Reflected Longwave irradiance",'LineStyle','-','MarkerEdgeColor','cyan',"Marker",".")
% plot(T2_filtered, "Datetime", "Aircraft Roll",'Marker','.','MarkerEdgeColor',rgb('orange'))
% plot(T2_filtered, "Datetime", "Aircraft Pitch",'Marker','.','MarkerEdgeColor','g')
% plot(T2_filtered,"Datetime", "Altitude",'Marker','|','MarkerEdgeColor',rgb('silver'))
hold off
title("Short and Long Wave Irradiance")
xlabel("Time[hh:mm:ss]")
ylabel("Irradiance [W/m^2]")
legend(Location='northoutside',NumColumns=2)
grid on
%yline(mean(T2_filtered.("Global solar irradiance"))) % this plots on left axis

I don’t have your data, however in this simulation it seems to work correctly —
x = 0:10;
y1 = randn(size(x));
y2 = randn(size(x))*2+5;
figure
yyaxis right
plot(x, y2)
yline(2*pi,'--') % Plots Correctly W.R.T. Right 'yyaxis'
yyaxis left
plot(x, y1)
.

Thanks for your input as well as suggestions. It will get me going now. It would be really insightful if you could explain a little about this line of the code
"plot(xlim,[1 1]*mean(T2_filtered.("Global solar irradiance")), '-k')
what is happening here. How does multiplying the mean value with limits of x gets the trick done. Does xlim, [1 1] gets the whole x-axis? Thanks, once again

As always, my pleasure!
The plot call uses the (1x2) xlim vector (defining the limits of the x-axis) as the independent variable argument, and the (1x2) vector [1 1] that is multiplied by the value of ‘mean(T2_filtered.("Global solar irradiance"))’ as the dependent variable argument, to produce a constant horizontal line at that value. Because it uses xlim as the independent variable argument, it will automatically re-size to span the entire x-axis if the x-axis limits are changed. It defines the line style as a constant black line using the '-k' argument.
