subplot
Create axes object in tiled positions
Syntax
subplot(m,n,p)
subplot(mnp)
subplot(m,n,p,'replace')
subplot(m,n,p,'align')
subplot(h)
subplot('Position',[left bottom width height])
h = subplot(...)
Description
subplot divides the current figure into rectangular panes that are numbered rowwise. Each pane contains an axes object. Subsequent plots are output to the current pane.
h = subplot(m,n,p) or subplot(mnp) breaks the figure window into an m-by-n matrix of small axes, selects the pth axes object for the current plot, and returns the axes handle. The axes are counted along the top row of the figure window, then the second row, etc. For example,
subplot(2,1,1), plot(income)
subplot(2,1,2), plot(outgo)
plots income on the top half of the window and outgo on the bottom half. If the CurrentAxes is nested in a uipanel, the panel is used as the parent for the subplot instead of the current figure. The new axes object becomes the current axes.
If p is a vector, it specifies an axes object having a position that covers all the subplot positions listed in p.
subplot(m,n,p,'replace'), If the specified axes object already exists, delete it and create a new axes.
subplot(m,n,p,'align') positions the individual axes so that the plot boxes align, but does not prevent the labels and ticks from overlapping.
subplot(h) makes the axes object with handle h current for subsequent plotting commands.
subplot('Position',[left bottom width height]) creates an axes at the position specified by a four-element vector. left, bottom, width, and height are in normalized coordinates in the range from 0.0 to 1.0.
h = subplot(...) returns the handle to the new axes object.
