Answer to "How to distribute subplots to two figures?" gives strange errors?

Answer by Matt Fig on 25 Sep 2012 Edited by Matt Fig on 25 Sep 2012

% First the subplots

figure
s(1) = subplot(1,2,1);
plot(1:10)
s(2) = subplot(1,2,2);
ezplot('x.^2')

% Now move them.

figure
set(s(1),'parent',gcf,'pos',[.1 .1 .8 .8])
figure
set(s(2),'parent',gcf,'pos',[.1 .1 .8 .8])

when run gives

"unexpected Matlab expression" in line

"set(s(1),'parent',gcf,'pos',[.1 .1 .8 .8])"

columns 20, and 34 ( twice ) but no error for next line

"set(s(2),'parent',gcf,'pos',[.1 .1 .8 .8])".

Also, what format for more than two ( nine ) subplots split 6 plots x 3 rows and 3 plots x 2 rows, or 4 plots x 2 rows and 5 plots x 3 rows?

Code works fine for me (Matlab 2012b, Win7 64bit), what version are you using? Maybe you're copy-pasting a few characters too few or many?

you'll have to rephrase, it's not clear to me what you actually want to know, the syntax for subplot maybe? If so:

subplot(number of rows of subplot, number of columns of subplots, number of the subplot you'll be plotting into  )

The subplots are counted like matrices, i.e. along columns, then rows:

|  1    3    5   etc...
|  2    4    6
