Hi. I have the following script (attached )b and the run that it opens can be found at this link.

It works perfectly except I want to reverse the the y- axis. I have tried several things but no luck. The only way I found is to do it manually. Is there another way?

set( hAxes, 'YDir', 'reverse' )
should do this for an axes hAxes.

set (gca,'YDir','reverse')
In second last line

So is it working or not now? You accepted an answer so I assume so, but your comment suggests otherwise.
As I mentioned, hAxes is an axes handle, how you get this is up to you. I would never use 'gca' except in a temporary script though, you should keep a handle to your axes and use this explicitly.

N = 10 ;
x = rand(N,1) ;
y = 1:N ;
figure(1)
plot(x,y) ;
figure(2)
plot(x,y) ;
set(gca,'Ydir','reverse')
