##### 15.2.2.3 Axes Properties

`position`
  A four-element vector specifying the coordinates of the lower left corner and width and height of the plot, in normalized units. For example, `[0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5]` sets the lower left corner of the axes at (0.2, 0.3) and the width and height to be 0.4 and 0.5 respectively.
`title`
  Index of text object for the axes title.
`box`
  Either `"on"` or `"off"` to toggle display of the box around the axes.
`key`
  Either `"on"` or `"off"` to toggle display of the legend. Note that this property is not compatible with Matlab and may be removed in a future version of Octave.
`keybox`
  Either `"on"` or `"off"` to toggle display of a box around the legend. Note that this property is not compatible with Matlab and may be removed in a future version of Octave.
`keypos`
  An integer from 1 to 4 specifying the position of the legend. 1 indicates upper right corner, 2 indicates upper left, 3 indicates lower left, and 4 indicates lower right. Note that this property is not compatible with Matlab and may be removed in a future version of Octave.
`dataaspectratio`
  A two-element vector specifying the relative height and width of the data displayed in the axes. Setting `dataaspectratio` to ``1, 2]`' causes the length of one unit as displayed on the y axis to be the same as the length of 2 units on the x axis. Setting `dataaspectratio` also forces the `dataaspectratiomode` property to be set to `"manual"`.
`dataaspectratiomode`
  Either `"manual"` or `"auto"`.
`xlim`
`ylim`
`zlim`
`clim`
  Two-element vectors defining the limits for the x, y, and z axes and the Setting one of these properties also forces the corresponding mode property to be set to `"manual"`.
`xlimmode`
`ylimmode`
`zlimmode`
`climmode`
  Either `"manual"` or `"auto"`.
`xlabel`
`ylabel`
`zlabel`
  Indices to text objects for the axes labels.
`xgrid`
`ygrid`
`zgrid`
  Either `"on"` or `"off"` to toggle display of grid lines.
`xminorgrid`
`yminorgrid`
`zminorgrid`
  Either `"on"` or `"off"` to toggle display of minor grid lines.
`xtick`
`ytick`
`ztick`
  Setting one of these properties also forces the corresponding mode property to be set to `"manual"`.
`xtickmode`
`ytickmode`
`ztickmode`
  Either `"manual"` or `"auto"`.
`xticklabel`
`yticklabel`
`zticklabel`
  Setting one of these properties also forces the corresponding mode property to be set to `"manual"`.
`xticklabelmode`
`yticklabelmode`
`zticklabelmode`
  Either `"manual"` or `"auto"`.
`xscale`
`yscale`
`zscale`
  Either `"linear"` or `"log"`.
`xdir`
`ydir`
`zdir`
  Either `"forward"` or `"reverse"`.
`xaxislocation`
`yaxislocation`
  Either `"top"` or `"bottom"` for the x axis and `"left"` or `"right"` for the y axis.
`view`
  A three element vector specifying the view point for three-dimensional plots.
`visible`
  Either `"on"` or `"off"` to toggle display of the axes.
`nextplot`
  May be one of
  `"new"`
  `"add"`
  `"replace"`
  `"replacechildren"`
`outerposition`
  A four-element vector specifying the coordinates of the lower left corner and width and height of the plot, in normalized units including the tics, labels etc. For example, `[0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5]` sets the lower left corner of the axes at (0.2, 0.3) and the width and height to be 0.4 and 0.5 respectively.
