Thread Subject: Will subplot work for uipanel?

I want to create multiple plots inside a specific area of a
figure. I am attempting to do that by using a uipanel and
subplot. However, in these newsgroups I saw a message that
someone was having trouble getting subplot to work with a
uipanel. Is it possible to use subplot on a uipanel?

If not, what is a better (easier) way to create a variable
number of plots in a certain area of a figure?

Maybe I could use docking somehow... this is all new to me,
so any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks

Using the first two lines of the example in the UIPANEL reference page:

http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/index.html?/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/ref/uipanel.html

h = figure;
hp = uipanel('Title','Main Panel','FontSize',12,...
             'BackgroundColor','white',...
             'Position',[.25 .1 .67 .67]);

sp1 = subplot(2, 2, 1, 'Parent', hp);
plot(1:10);
sp4 = subplot(2, 2, 4, 'Parent', hp);
surf(peaks);

I tested this in MATLAB 7.4 (R2007a) and it worked fine.

Thank you. This works for me too. Now I just wish I could
find that earlier incorrect message I read on this newsgroup
to add a correction to it...
