box — Toggle axes box outlines for chart framing, presentation, and MATLAB box on / box off workflows.

box controls whether the current axes draw their outer frame. Like MATLAB, RunMat supports box on, box off, and bare box toggling. This is mainly a presentation/state command, so it is usually used alongside axis, grid, and subplot-specific styling.

How box works in RunMat

• box on enables the axes frame on the current axes.
• box off disables the axes frame on the current axes.
• Calling box with no argument toggles the current state.
• Box state is subplot-local and applies to the currently active axes.

Examples

Turn the axes frame on for a chart

plot(1:5, [1 4 2 5 3]);
box on;

Style subplots independently

subplot(1, 2, 1);
plot(1:5, 1:5);
box off;
subplot(1, 2, 2);
plot(1:5, [5 4 3 2 1]);
box on;
