pos get (gca, 'Position') Get positions of the subplot left bottom width height set (gca, 'Position', pos (1) pos (2) pos (3)scale pos (4)scale) Scale width and height Understanding this, one can also easily implement a parametric move of the subplot. These high-end alternatives are a departure from the built-in subplot's calling syntax, though.įor an overview, please see the Dec 21st, 2012 post on the File Exchange Pick of the Week Blog, titled 'Figure margins, subplot spacings, and more…'. scale 1.1 Subplot scale subplot (1,2,1) Your plotting here. Joris Kampman's subplot_grid is a colossal 3500+ line object-based implementation.

Aslak Grinsted's subaxis is based on a richer, more expressive HTML jargon. You can omit the parentheses and specify subplot as. Asymmetric subplots with variable inner gaps and outer margins. subplot(1,1,1) or clf deletes all axes objects and returns to the default subplot(1,1,1) configuration. If you prefer a post-processing solution, see Richard Crozier's tightfig or Aditya's spaceplots.Īlon Geva's subplotplus is interesting for making complicated subplot arrangements apparently gaps and margins are fixed. 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. The screenshot attached shows demo results for examples modified from the subplot documentation.įor axes ticks and labels and locations, see Matlab's axes properties documentation, or try Eran Ofek's subplot1 for a more guided approach.

Where opt = describes the inner and outer spacings. And, of course, it conveniently returns a vector of handles to. When using a script to create subplots, MATLAB does not finalize the Position property value until either a drawnow command is issued or MATLAB returns to await a user command. It extends the former, which supports asymmetric subplots, to allow for variable margins in addition to gaps, as in the latter.Įxisting scripts that currently call Matlab's builtin subplot can be adapted with minimal modification by issuing the following command upfront: The syntax is easy to use: ha tightsubplot (Nh, Nw, gap, margh, margw) allows me to specify the number of horizontal axes, the number of vertical axes, the gap as a scalar (or as a vector of horizontal and vertical gap values, gaph gapw), and the height and width margins.

Subtightplot is a merger of Pekka Kumpulainen's tight_subplot and Nikolay S.'s subplot_tight.
