Hi Ben,

thanks for your advice. You mean I have to change the scale of the axis and
then move them to zero for instance; by set(gca,'xaxislocation', 'zero').

This works fine for me, but how can I switch the box off? The command
set(gca,'box', 'off') doesn't work, nothing changes.

Thanks

Phtagen
