‘ir2020 Combine Muliple Plots - MATLAB & Simulink - MathWorks India Combine Multiple Plots This example shows how to combine plots in the same axes using the hold function, and how to create multiple axes in a figure using the tiledlayout function, The tiledlayout function is available starting in R2019b. If you are using an earlier release, use the subplot function instead. View MATLAB Command Combine Plots in Same Axes By default, new plots clear existing plots and reset axes properties, such as the title. However, you can use the hold ‘on command to combine multiple plots in the same axes. For example, plot two lines and a scatter plot, Then reset the hold state to off. x = linspace(@,10,5@) ; yl = sin(x); plot(x,y2) title(‘Combine Plots") hold on y2 = sin(x/2)5 plot(x,y2) y3 = 2*sin(x); scatter(x,y3) hold off Combine Plots 18 08 9 4 ——s When the hold state is on, new plots do not clear existing plots or reset axes properties, such as the tille or axis labels, The plots cycle through colors and line styles based on the Colororder and LineStyleOrder properties of the axes. ‘The axes limits and tick values might adjust to accommodate new data, Display Multiple Axes in a Figure hitps:in. mathworks.comvhelpimatlabjeresting_plotsicombine-multiple-plots.html wr‘ir2020 Combine Muliple Plots - MATLAB & Simulink - MathWorks India You can display multiple axes in a single figure by using the tiledlayout function. This function creates a tiled chart layout containing an invisible grid of tles over the entire figure. Each tile can contain an axes for displaying a plot. After creating a layout, call the nexttile function to place an axes object into the layout. Then call a plotting function to plot into the axes. For example, create two plots in a 2-by-1 layout. Add a title to each plot, Note: This code uses the tiledlayout function, which is available starting in R2019b, If you are using an earlier release, use the subplot function instead, x = Linspace(@,10,5@); yl = sin(x); y2 = rand(58,1); tiledlayout(2,1) % Requires R2019b or later % Top plot nexttile plot (x,y2) title(‘Plot 1°) % Bottom plot nexttile scatter(x,y2) title(‘Plot 2") Plot 1 Create Plot Spanning Multiple Rows or Columns To create a plot that spans multiple rows or columns, specify the span argument when you call nexttile. For example, create a 2-by-2 layout, Plot into the first two tiles. Then create a plot that spans one row and two columns, x = Linspace(o,10,50); yl = sin(x); y2 = rand(5@,1)3 % Top two plots tiledlayout(2,2) % Requires R2019b or later nexttile Iitps:in. mathworks.comvhelpimatlabjeresting_plotsicombine-multiple-plots.htm!ita2020 Combine Muliple Plots - MATLAB & Simulink - MathWorks nia plot(x,y1) nexttile scatter(x,y2) % Plot that spans nexttile([1 2]) y2 = rand(5@,1)5 plot(x,y2) ‘ "29 0 0 © S 0 ° 0s 2 o. ° 20 0 os| 0 0° en 8S ° ©.0:°8 06 P mop as ee 0 5 70 0 5 ‘0 1 08 ° o + 2 8 « 8 6 7 8 8 1 Modify Axes Appearance Modify the axes appearance by setting properties on each of the axes objects. You can get the axes object by calling the nexttile function with an output argument. You also can specify the axes object as the first input argument to a graphics function to ensure that the function targets the correct axes, For example, create two plots and assign the axes objects to the variables ax1 and ax2, Change the axes font size and x-axis color forthe first plot. Add grid lines to the second plot. x = Linspace(@,10,5@); yl = sin(x); y2 = rand(50,1); tiledlayout(2,1) % Requires R2@19b or later % Top plot axl = nexttile; plot (axi,x,y1) title(axi, ‘Plot 1") axi.FontSize = 14; ax1.xColor = ‘red’; % Bottom plot ax2 = nexttile; scatter(ax2,x,y2) title(ax2, ‘Plot 2') grid(ax2,‘on") Iitps:in. mathworks.comvhelpimatlabjeresting_plotsicombine-multiple-plots.htm!‘r2020 Combine Muliple Plots - MATLAB & Simulink - MathWorks India Plot 1 Control Spacing Around the Tiles You can control the spacing around the tiles in a layout by specifying the Padding and TileSpacing properties.
