function setxlim(h,Xlim,varargin)
%SETXLIM  Sets X limits across columns of axes group.
%
%   SETXLIM(AXGROUP,XLIM,J) sets the X limits to XLIM across the 
%   J-th column of the axes group.  The index J is relative to 
%   entire grid of axes, as returned by GETAXES(AXGROUP,'2d').
%
%   SETXLIM(AXGROUP,XLIM,[J1 J2]) sets the X limits across the 
%   entire column specified by the integers J1 and J2, where
%   J1 is relative to the major grid (size=AXGROUP.Size(1:2)),
%   and J2 is relative to the minor grid (size=AXGROUP.Size(3:4)).
%
%   SETXLIM(...,'silent') sets the limits without triggering the 
%   limit picker (no ViewChanged event broadcasted).
%
%   SETXLIM(...,'basic') sets the limits without changing the axes
%   group's XlimMode nor triggering the limit picker.
