I didn't say it brought it to the foreground, Walter, I said it gave it focus...

I suppose I should have gone on to say that afaik, there isn't any documented way to do that other than redraw the line (or decide a priori which is desired to be on top and draw the axes in that obverse order initially).

With two lines on one axis, one could use the old trick of rearranging the order of the children of the axes; they would be the lines and permuting the order rearranged the precedence.

With yyaxis, there are two axes, not just one and each has only the one line as its child; hence there's nothing that one can reorder to affect the precedence; they are in the order in which were drawn, last first.

One might think that one should be able to rearrange the two axes handles, but alas! that isn't allowed...

Duplicating your example

x = linspace(0,1);

yyaxis left

plot(x, x);

yyaxis right

plot(x, sin(3*pi*x))

yyaxis left

●

hAx=gca

hAx =

Axes with properties: YAxisLocation: 'left' YAxis: [2×1 NumericRuler] YLim: [0 1] XLim: [0 1] XScale: 'linear' YScale: 'linear' Position: [0.1300 0.1100 0.7750 0.8150] Units: 'normalized' Use GET to show all properties

hAx.YAxis=flipud(hAx.YAxis)

Unable to set the 'YAxis' property of class ''Axes'' because it is read-only.

No, there's more to it with yyaxis. But you're right that changing the child order can be a strategy for controling stacking order in general.

Just for fun:

yyaxis right
plot(1:5)
yyaxis left
plot(5:-1:1)

Let's look at the children.

yyaxis right
h1 = get(gca,'Children')
h1 = 
  Line with properties:

              Color: [0.8667 0.3294 0]
          LineStyle: '-'
          LineWidth: 0.5000
             Marker: 'none'
         MarkerSize: 6
    MarkerFaceColor: 'none'
              XData: [1 2 3 4 5]
              YData: [1 2 3 4 5]

  Use GET to show all properties

Note that the only child returned is the line on the right.

yyaxis left
h2 = get(gca,'Children')
h2 = 
  Line with properties:

              Color: [0.0667 0.4431 0.7451]
          LineStyle: '-'
          LineWidth: 0.5000
             Marker: 'none'
         MarkerSize: 6
    MarkerFaceColor: 'none'
              XData: [1 2 3 4 5]
              YData: [5 4 3 2 1]

  Use GET to show all properties

Now the only child returned is the line on the left.

But....

h1.Parent == h2.Parent
ans = logical
   1

@Adam Danz says "changing the child order can be a strategy for controling stacking order in general. "

Yeah, I learned about that from there having been a blog illustrating it at some distant time in the past; couldn't begin to say who or when, any more.

Your demo illustrates the point I made earlier about there being only one child/axes rather than multiple so that there isn't anything to sort/rearrange to affect stacking order.

My only thought was whether if one could apply the same concept to the axes order instead of lines it might just trigger a refresh of both axes.

yyaxis right
plot(1:5)
yyaxis left
plot(5:-1:1)
hAx=gca
hAx = 
  Axes with properties:

    YAxisLocation: 'left'
            YAxis: [2×1 NumericRuler]
             YLim: [1 5]
             XLim: [1 5]
           XScale: 'linear'
           YScale: 'linear'
         Position: [0.1300 0.1100 0.7750 0.8150]
            Units: 'normalized'

  Use GET to show all properties
hAx.YAxis
ans = 
  2×1 NumericRuler array:

  NumericRuler
  NumericRuler
hAx.YAxis(1)==hAx.YAxis(2)
ans = logical
   0

yyaxis is a special beastie, indeed; being one axes but with two selectable independent NumericRuler Y-axes.

For comparison, the venerable plotyy

x=1:5;

hAx=plotyy(x,flip(x),x,x)

●

Warning: InteractionOptions is not supported for legacy exploration modes.

hAx =

1×2 Axes array: Axes Axes

hAx==gca

ans = 1×2 logical array

1 0

creates two completely independent axes, overlaying the second on top of the first.

Either way, there's no convenient way to change the stacking order; while one can

hAx=flip(hAx);
hAx==gca
ans = 1×2 logical array
   0   1

and indeed, change the storage order ot the two axes since now the handle array is just a graphics object array like any other, that has no effect on the existing stacking order.

PS. I'm not sure what the warning is about; that doesn't happen locally, but I'm still with R2021b/R2022b here.
