How to position the y axis on the right in a plot

I have two vectors f(t) and g(t) and I want to plot them in one graph using plotyy. But I also want to do some other things like changing the marker style of each curve and also changing the span of the axes. I have tried using xlim but it only affects one of the x axes, not both.

you need to use the handles for this so

[hAx,hLine1,hLine2] = plotyy(x,y1,x,y2);
xlim(hAx(1),...)
xlim(hAx(2),...)

this is also very well explained in the documentation of plotyy

And the second argument on each xlim will be the vector specifying the limits?

[Ingrid]

indeed, the same as you have tried to use xlim, but now with explicitly specifying to which axes the xlim needs to be applied

Another question please, I also want my plot to be of only marker-defined, meaning the data points are marked with certain marker type without connecting line. I have added

set(hLine1,'Marker','o','MarkerSize',10)

The marker appears as desired but the connecting line between data points still exist. How can I remove the line?

[Ingrid]

set(hLine1,'LineStyle','none')

this is clearly explained in the documentation of plot
