axes Interactions 'restore view' not working properly

This problem seems to have been discussed in Answers in March 2019 but it's not clear to me that a satisfactory resolution was reached.

I have uifigure containing a single axes with the properties

.Position = [50 50 512 512];
.XLim = [0 512];
.YLim = [0 512];

The pan and zoom features on the interactions menu work properly on the plotted function. However, on activating the 'Restore View' button the axes limits are changed to

.XLim = [0 500];
.Ylim = [0 500];

This is really irritating and screws up the appearance of the plots. I would like to think that the number 500 is a clue, but I have no idea where it comes from.

Is there a workaround apart from removing the interactions bar?

I have the same problem. After I activate the "Restore View" button. The XLim, YLim, ZLims will be set to some values that I don't understand where they are coming from. I have an Axes in my GUIDE, that will i update alot (so I plot something; use cla; and plot something else). How can I manually set the values that 'Restore View' would set?

thanks

Hello Marten

I seem to have made the problem go away, but unfortunately I don't understand why. I have included the code for my plotting function that seems to work - i.e. after using the 'Restore view' button, the x, y limits are identical to the original values. You will note that there no tick marks and this may possibly be relevant, although I'm guessing somewhat. Good luck and I would be glad to hear of any progress in understanding the cause of the problem.

function PlotDrawing(app)
    % Plot the function app.Plot(1:n,1:2) on the axes app.UIAxes01
    % The axes is square, width = height = app.AxesSize
    Z = app.Plot;					% x,y coords
    ax = app.UIAxes01;
    cla(ax)
    ax.Units = 'pixels';
    ax.XTick = [];
    ax.YTick = [];
    ax.Position = [ax.Position(1:2), app.AxesSize, app.AxesSize];
    ax.XLim = [0, app.AxesSize];
    ax.YLim = [0, app.AxesSize];
    ax.Box = 'on';
    ax.Color = app.BackgroundColor;
    plot(ax, Z(:,1), Z(:,2), 'Color', app.LineColor)
end

The limits that are used when "Restore View" is activated come from app.UIAxes.InteractionOptions.RestoredXLimits, RestoredYLimits, and RestoredZLimts in app designer. I am not sure in other figures, but there may be a similar property.
