Plot a line to a specific axis?

David Doria — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 20:11:43 -0400

It seems from the help that the line() function will only
plot to the current axis, is this correct?

for example, i have a (2,1) subplot that i want to alternate
plotting lines on.

I did h1=subplot(2,1,1);
h2=subplot(2,1,2);

but line(h1, [xcoords], [ycoords]) doesn't work!

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

David

You may want to try passing in the parent axes as a paremeter to the LINE
function, like this:

h1 = subplot(2,1,1);
h2 = subplot(2,1,2);
line(1:10,rand(1,10),'Parent',h1);

-I hope this helps.
