File Information

Description

This function allows the user to select figures and axes within figures and copy them as subplots into a new figure.

A list of handles is the only mandatory argument. If a handle to an axes object is found, the corresponding axes are copied to the new figure; if a handle to a figure object is found, figs2subplots automatically finds its children axes and copy them to the new figure.

Optional arguments allows specifying the subplot arrangement in the new figure.

MATLAB release

MATLAB 6.5 (R13)

11 Mar 2005	Kent Conover	Worked the first time! (in release 14) Just what I wanted.
01 Jul 2005	Nick Koch	Works great! Only bug is that the figure legends in a figure is copied over as a separate subplot, despite the intended design of the function. A work around is to go back and assign the legends after this command is used.
25 Jul 2005	Ben Michell	Would get a higher rating if the legend bug was fixed. Otherwise useful.
26 Jul 2005	François Bouffard	I submitted a quick workaround for the legend problem on 2005-07-26: the legends are simply ignored now. Legends still have to be rebuilt in the new figure though: copying legend objects is not straightforward. At least the function is more useable now.
01 Mar 2006	Sergei K	Does not work for in Matlab r14(SP3). Persist on putting all figures into first subplot window, regardless of handle, optional arguments etc.. 2) Help section is absolutely unclear what to do with input arguments. Few practical examples could be very helpful there .
24 Jan 2007	B A	Seems to work fine on Ver7.3.0.267 for figures with one plot. But, does not handle figures that already have subplots in them.
03 Aug 2007	Janus Wesenberg	Works like a charm (Matlab v7.3) -- and just what I was looking for.
05 Oct 2007	Wang Win	Just what i am looking for, many thanks!!!
18 May 2008	Shalin Mehta	Threw up this error when there was no legend present in any of the axes: ??? Undefined function or variable "hLegParAxes". Error in ==> figs2subplots at 96 [ii jj] = ismember(av(k),hLegParAxes); Easily fixed by initialization: @Line 67: hLegParAxes=NaN; Otherwise, very useful piece of code. Thanks!
11 Jun 2008	gn gn	Excellent feature, but a little hard to understand in handling figures with subplots in it...

Updates
26 Jul 2005	A quick workaround for the legend problem: legends are no longer copied to the new figure. However, legends do not appear on the new figure at all.
01 Aug 2006	More tiling arrangement options; help section updated.
15 Feb 2008	Now supports legends thanks to code from Zoran Pasaric
