Grid line not showing for y-axis

Hey all, the figure that I have is generated via geoshow, that look like this:

In order to cut the blank part between 40 to 45 (x-axis) I used:

axis equal

But after that, although small grid lines above x-axis values remain, for Y-axis they are all disappeared:

I found that this issue was acquired due to white background of the map. So if there is any idea how can I do to have small grid lines like x-axis for the y-axis without having blank space in figure I would be so grateful.

I could not recreate the problem. Try

box on
% or 
box(axisHandle, 'on')

I'm sorry I didnt say that I already used

box on

the data is a tif file which can be downloaded here in google drive.

And the code is:

[A,R] = readgeoraster('DEM_30s.tif', 'OutputType', 'double');

low_single = typecast(uint8([255 255 127 255]), 'single');
mask = low_single==A;
A = A - min(A(~mask), [], 'all');

% creating colormap changing from white to brown as shown in image in the question
brown_color = [0.8 0.2 0.1];
light_brown = [0.95 0.9 0.8];
t = linspace(0, 1, max(A,[],'all'))';
cmap = t.*brown_color + (1-t).*light_brown;

gs = geoshow(A, cmap, R);
gs.CData(repmat(mask,1,1,3)) = 255;

axis equal
box on

Which came from my previous question,

Thanks

The map image appears to be on top of the axes and blocking the axis ticks. If you adjust the xlim so that there is some space around the edges, you'll the the y-ticks.

This line will add 2% of space to the left and right of the x limit.

% ax is the axis handle
xlim(ax, xlim(ax)+range(xlim(ax))*[-.02, .02])

Repeat for ylim if needed.

Very good idea, Thank you so much
