The following illustration shows four subplot regions and indicates the command used to create each. To plot income in the top half of a figure and outgo in the bottom half, (This behavior is implemented by setting the figure's NextPlot property to replace.)
This syntax does not return a handle, so it is an error to specify a return argument. This syntax does not immediately create an axes, but instead sets up the figure so that the next graphics command executes a clf reset (deleting all figure children) and creates a new axes in the default position. The command subplot(111) is not identical in behavior to subplot(1,1,1) and exists only for compatibility with previous releases. It should be noted that all selected fig files must be single figures (no subplots) and defined in the 2-D space. The order of subplots is based on the order in which figures are opened.
Matlab subplot code#
Where m refers to the row, n refers to the column, and p specifies the pane. Choose a web site to get translated content where available and see local events and offers. This code is used once there are several saved fig files and the goal is to open all of them together in a new figure as different subplots. You can omit the parentheses and specify subplot as. Subplot(1,1,1) or clf deletes all axes objects and returns to the default subplot(1,1,1) configuration. However, if the subplot specification exactly matches the position of an existing axes, then the matching axes is not deleted and it becomes the current axes. If a subplot specification causes a new axes to overlap any existing axes, then subplot deletes the existing axes and uicontrol objects. The first two arguments define the number of rows and columns that will be included in the grid. The basic form of the subplot() command takes in three inputs: nRows, nCols, linearIndex. left, bottom, width, and height are in normalized coordinates in the range from 0.0 to 1.0. The subplot() function in M ATLAB/Octave allows you to insert multiple plots on a grid within a single figure. Makes the axes with handle h current for subsequent plotting commands.Ĭreates an axes at the position specified by a four-element vector. subplot (3, 4, plotNumber) Where plotNumber follows this pattern: 1 2 3 4. For example for a 3 by 4 array of plots youd do. If the specified axes already exists, delete it and creat a new axes. The third arg is the number of the plot starting at 1 in the upper left, going across the top row to M, then down a row and across again, then so on down row by row until the last plot, the (NM)th, is at the lower right. If p is a vector, it specifies an axes having a position that covers all the subplot positions listed in p. Subsequent plots are output to the current pane.Ĭreates an axes in the p-th pane of a figure divided into an m-by- n matrix of rectangular panes. Subplot divides the current figure into rectangular panes that are numbered row-wise. Subplot (MATLAB Functions) MATLAB Function Reference
