Hi Janno,
In MATLAB, UI components like “UIAxes” are tied to their parent container (such as a figure or a tab). So, when copying a “UIAxes”, a new instance is created that doesn't share the callbacks or the interactive features of the original axes. To have two plots that are always synchronized, you need to update both plots whenever a change occurs.
This can be done by creating a function that updates both “UIAxes” whenever a change is made. This function would redraw the plot on both axes based on the same data source. Here is an example that shows the same:
% Create a figure with two tabs with UIAxes as uiAxes1 and uiAxes2
function updatePlots(data, uiAxes1, uiAxes2)
% Update plot on the first UIAxes
plot(uiAxes1, data.x, data.y);
% Update plot on the second UIAxes
plot(uiAxes2, data.x, data.y);
end
% Callback function that gets triggered on some event
function myCallback(src, event)
% Update both plots using the function defined earlier
updatePlots(data, uiAxes1, uiAxes2);
end
% Set the same callback for both UIAxes or related components
set(srcComponent1, 'ValueChangedFcn', @myCallback);
set(srcComponent2, 'ValueChangedFcn', @myCallback);
In this example, “srcComponent1” and “srcComponent2” are the components that trigger the callback (like a slider value changed or a button pushed). Since we have the same callback function for both UIAxes, the function “updatePlots” is called whenever any of the plots is interacted with and the changes are reflected in both.

I hope this helps!
