MagInset provides a one-line solution to add a magnified inset to a figure. The best way to learn how to use the function is to take a look at the example provided. The zip file includes:
MagInset.m - the function itself
MagInsetEx.m - a script which shows how to use MagInset.m using two examples.
Features:
- Works with single axes figures and multiple (subplot) figures.
- Inset size and position is specified using the data's co-ordinate system, not the normalized figure co-ordinate system, for ease of use.
- Can freely specify the zoom area (the region to be magnified in the inset), the inset size, the inset position, and lines that connect the inset to the zoom area.
Limitations (some of which I hope to address in the future):
- The figure size and axes position must be specified before using the MagInset function.
- The appearance of the inset axes is hard coded.
