The Control System Toolbox provides editors that allow you to set properties
and preferences in the SISO Design Tool, the LTI Viewer, and in any response
plots that you create from the MATLAB prompt.
Properties refer to settings that arespecific to an individual response plot. This
includes the following:
•Axes labels, and limits
•Data units and scales
•Plot styles, such as grids, fonts, and axes foreground colors
•Plot characteristics, such as rise time, peak response, and gain and phase
margins.
Preferences refers to properties that persist either:
•Within a single session for a specific instance of an LTI Viewer or a SISO
Design Tool
•Across Control System Toolbox sessions
The former are called tool preferences, the latter toolbox preferences.
This document contains five sections:
•“Setting Toolbox Preferences” — Using the Toolbox Preferences Editor, you
can set features that apply to all LTI Viewers, SISO Design Tools, and
response plots you create. Settings here persist from session to session.

- “Property Editing for Subplots” — How to edit subplots individually using
the Property Editor.
- “Customizing Plots Inside the SISO Design Tool” — How to use the
