Thread Subject:

Figure axes disappear when I set background to white

Sorry if posted elsewhere.
The only deviation from the default I have made is:

set(fh,'color', 'white');

so fh = figure(1);
set(fh, ‘color’, ‘white’);

This does change the background to white (from gray), which is my intention, but it causes the Y and X axes (but not their right and top "box" counterparts) to disappear or what I assume is turn them to white.

I tried using the set(gcf,'color','white') command, but it resulted in the same. I'm a total noob, so any guidance is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Rohan

After toying with the code, I found that in fact my use of 'linesmoothing', 'on' causes the Y and X axes (but not the rest of the box) to disappear. Anyone else find this and/or knows a way to get around this problem?

I am experiencing the same problem. Do you have an answer how to fix it?

_WHAT_ background color?

You just posted this w/ no context obviously in browsing some existing
thread but w/o context can't say much other than just 'Huh?'

The question is:

"After toying with the code, I found that in fact my use of 'linesmoothing', 'on' causes the Y and X axes (but not the rest of the box) to disappear. Anyone else find this and/or knows a way to get around this problem?"

A picture might help explain:

Sample code that reproduces the problem would help more...

I know of no 'linesmoothing' property but I do have an older release.
But a search of current documentation online returned zero hits...
