Can you set the y-axis scale, but allow for a variable range?

For instance, is it possible to restrict the y axis to a certain length, but allow that length to fall anywhere based on the given data?

I have several subplots that plot in different areas along the y-axis, but I need the plot scale to be maintained.

Just use something like this

x=1:10;
y=rand(1,numel(x))+5
the_length=1; %length on x axis to view
plot(x,y)
set(gca, 'ylim', [min(y), min(y)+the_length])

set(gca, 'ylim', [ymin, ymin+the_length])
