With the view command, you can query and set the current perspective, and with the xlim, ylim, and zlim command, you can query and set the current zoom.
For example
[az,el] = view; %# queries the perspective view(az,el); %# sets the perspective
xl = xlim; %# queries the x-axis limits xlim(xl); %# sets the x-axis limits Alternatively, you can modify the XData, YData, ZData and possibly CData properties of your plot objects when you are updating plots in a sequence. This will be faster than recreating the figure, axes, and objects at each iteration.
