Set y axis max value with Matlab

I'm trying to draw plots with Matlab and the problem is that i want to fix the maximum value of y-axis to 8 . To help you understand me, look at this first example :

image1

you can see that the maximum y value is 8. but when i try to draw this graph : image2

its maximum y value is 6 . i want to fix it for all examples to 8. how can i do it? here's my code for now :

data=importdata('C:/Users/Eden/Desktop/Calcul_accel/fichier_final.txt');
fig = figure(1);
x=data(:,2)
y=data(:,3)
p=plot(x,y)
set(p,'Color','red');
xlabel('Time(milliseconds)','FontSize',12,'FontWeight','bold','Color','b');
ylabel('Acceleration(g unit)','FontSize',12,'FontWeight','bold','Color','b')

thank you very much

Use ylim if you just want to modify the y axis.

Therefore, do this once your plot is already open:

ylim([0 8]);

This overrides the auto-scaling of the axes so that y always spans between 0 to 8.

In general, @eigenchris mentioned to use axis, which allows you to change the dynamic range of what is viewable in a plot for both the x and y axes. However, since you only want to change how the y-axis is visualized, one call to ylim is enough.
