Syntax

• lims = zlim()
• zlim([zmin, zmax])
• zlim('auto')
• zlim('manual')
• m = zlim('mode')
• zlim(ax, ...)

Input argument

• [zmin, zmax] - z-coordinates: vector or matrix.
• 'auto' - enable automatic limit selection.
• 'manual' - freeze the z-axis limits at their current value.
• 'mode' - returns the current z-axis limits mode.
• ax - a scalar graphics object value: parent container, specified as a axes.

Output argument

• lims - two-element vector: [zmin, zmax]
• m - 'auto' or 'manual'.
