Subaxis - Subplot

Use HTML jargon for multi axis layout.

Description

SUBAXIS Create axes in tiled positions. (just like subplot)
    Usage:
       h=subaxis(rows,cols,cellno[,settings])
       h=subaxis(rows,cols,cellx,celly[,settings])
       h=subaxis(rows,cols,cellx,celly,spanx,spany[,settings])
 
  SETTINGS: Spacing,SpacingHoriz,SpacingVert
            Padding,PaddingRight,PaddingLeft,PaddingTop,PaddingBottom
            Margin,MarginRight,MarginLeft,MarginTop,MarginBottom
            Holdaxis
 
            all units are relative (e.g from 0 to 1)
 
            Abbreviations of parameters can be used.. (Eg MR instead of MarginRight)
            (holdaxis means that it wont delete any axes below.)
 
 
  Example:
 
    >> subaxis(2,1,1,'SpacingVert',0,'MR',0);
    >> imagesc(magic(3))
    >> subaxis(2,'p',.02);
    >> imagesc(magic(4))

Works great!
Thanks

A worthy replacement to subplot, which is not nearly flexible enough. Being able to span cells is great!

[Marcello Vichi]

Great Matlab programming. I'm not using subplot anymore...
I also enjoyed parseArgs, which is very useful to include in my own mfiles.

good job !

Awesome--far superior to subplot. This function is a slightly tricky to use at first, but a few minutes of practice/playing around and you'll never go back to subplot.
mathworks should make this standard...

[Stine Gro Jensen]

This is just what I needed! Great! I fully agree with the other reviewers. Take your time to work it out, and you will never use subplot again.

[Eduardo Gonzalez]

Just great. I don't use subplot any more. Useful not just for subplots but to eliminate the blank space around the graphic in one plot.

[Andrzej Lewarek]

Just great. It was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

[Raymond Cheng]

Thanks for your sharing.

Great work! It works great in general, although I'm having problems using subaxis to display images in their original aspect ratio. Let me explain, when displaying an image on a figure, I like asking the figure to display the image preserving the natural aspect ratio of the image.

I usually accomplish this by calling imshow, e.g.:

figure;
imshow(I, []);

Now, if I try to do this with subaxis (asking it to use 0 padding, 0 padding and 0 spacing):

--------------------
figure;
I = imread('pout.tif');

subaxis(1,2, 1, 'sh',0,'sv',0,'MR',0, 'ML', 0, 'MT', 0, 'MB', 0, 'PaddingTop', 0, 'PaddingBottom', 0, 'PaddingLeft', 0, 'PaddingRight', 0);

imshow(I', []);

subaxis(1,2, 1, 'sh',0,'sv',0,'MR',0, 'ML', 0, 'MT', 0, 'MB', 0, 'PaddingTop', 0, 'PaddingBottom', 0, 'PaddingLeft', 0, 'PaddingRight', 0);

imshow(I', []);
--------------------

You'll see that the figure displays the images correctly (i.e. it preserves their aspect ratio), BUT there is white space around the images within the figure, even though I explicitly asked subaxis to remove whitespace in the figure.

Any thoughts?

Other that, it works like a charm. Thanks!

sexiest file exchange program ever.

This saved me much time, and I doubt I'll be going back to subplot.

[Toby Hijzen]

Very usefull and handy function.
I'm just missing functionality like
subplot(2,2,[1 3])
