Can I gray out the UIAxes?

Can I gray out the UIAxes the same way I gray out a whole panel with buttons? I see that I can use

app.UIAxes.Visible = "on/off";

but it makes the plot appear/disappear and I want it to be grayed out.

You can make probably combine some color and transparency changes and change PickableParts to none to limit the interactivity. https://uk.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/matlab.ui.control.uiaxes-properties.html#bu6ewif_sep_shared-PickableParts

Thanks for your ideas, but I've found that I can put it in the panel and graying out the panel will make the graph also grayed out

[Mateusz Zagórski]

Which was previously checked by me, but for some reason hadn't worked.

@Mateusz Zagórski: Nice solution! +1

Just to be clear, when you say "to gray out the panel", you mean to set the panel's Enable property to 'off', correct?

[Mateusz Zagórski]

Exactly. Plots unfortunately do not have this property afaik

[Voss]

That's right, axes and uiaxes do not have an Enable property, but panels do, and disabling a panel effectively disables whatever's in it, including axes and uiaxes (apparently).

To change just about anything you can think of on a graph see the attached demo.
