Change scale of second y-axis on figure

Hello,

I have a figure with two axis, one of which is inverted. The inverted axis needs to be compressed in the y direction so the bars do not ovelap.

Here's my current code, and the figure result is attached.

%% Plot of summary table vs month/day AVERAGES for study period (Jul 2019 to Sep 2020) SUMMER
    fig1 = figure;    % Summer Precip
    hAxes(1) = subplot(2, 1, 1);
    yyaxis left
    bar(1:height(P2SFL_P_DSsummerperiod_summarytable),P2SFL_P_DSsummerperiod_summarytable.mean_Var1, 'FaceColor', 'blue')
    axis ij
    ylabel('[mm]')
    ylim([0 10])
    hold on
    yyaxis right
    bar(1:height(P2SFL_KE_DSsummerperiod_summarytable),P2SFL_KE_DSsummerperiod_summarytable.mean_Var1)%, 'FaceColor', 'black')
    % Decide how many ticks you want. This does every 10 rows (10 days if none missing)
    tick_idx = 1:7:height(P2SFL_KE_DSsummerperiod_summarytable);
    xticks(tick_idx)
    % Label ticks with month and day (e.g., "July 1")
    xticklabels(string(P2SFL_KE_DSsummerperiod_summarytable.Month(tick_idx))+" "+P2SFL_KE_DSsummerperiod_summarytable.Day(tick_idx))
    % Angle ticks at 45 degrees for easier reading when closely packed
    xtickangle(45)
    title('CBBG-SFL, Mesa, AZ')%, 'FontSize', 15)
    ylabel('[J/m^2]')
    %ylim([0 15])
    %xlabel('Month and Day')
    hAxes(2) = subplot(2, 1, 2);
    yyaxis left
    bar(1:height(P2JER_P_DSsummerperiod_summarytable),P2JER_P_DSsummerperiod_summarytable.mean_Var1, 'FaceColor', 'blue')
    axis ij
    ylabel('[mm]')
    hold on
    yyaxis right
    bar(1:height(P2JER_KE_DSsummerperiod_summarytable),P2JER_KE_DSsummerperiod_summarytable.mean_Var1) %, 'FaceColor', 'black')
    % Decide how many ticks you want. This does every 10 rows (10 days if none missing)
    tick_idx = 1:7:height(P2JER_KE_DSsummerperiod_summarytable);
    xticks(tick_idx)
    % Label ticks with month and day (e.g., "July 1")
    xticklabels(string(P2SFL_KE_DSsummerperiod_summarytable.Month(tick_idx))+" "+P2SFL_KE_DSsummerperiod_summarytable.Day(tick_idx))
    % Angle ticks at 45 degrees for easier reading when closely packed
    xtickangle(45)
    %set(gca,'xticklabel',{[]})
    title('JER, Las Cruces, NM')%, 'FontSize', 15)
    ylabel('[J/m^2]')
    %ylim([20 30])
    % Give common xlabel, ylabel and title to your figure
    linkaxes(hAxes, 'x');
    %xlim([1 92])
    han=axes(fig1,'visible','off'); 
    han.Title.Visible='on';
    han.XLabel.Visible='on';
    han.YLabel.Visible='off';
    %xlabel(han,'Month and Day');
    %title(han,'Las Cruces International Airport, Summer Season (2001-2020)');
    sgtitle('Daily Average Precipitation and Kinetic Energy, Summer Season (2019-2020)')

Thanks!

Use the ylim function to set the yaxis limits.
