plot(x1,y1,'.g');
ylim([-10 20])
xlim([-10 10])
subplot(2,2,2);
plot(x2,y2,'.b');
ylim([-10 20])
xlim([-10 10])

Hello Hana
To save subplots as both TIFF and FIG files in MATLAB, you can use the saveas function. To save the file in the desired format mention the file extension example:
saveas(gcf,'img.tif);
If no extension is specified, then the function saves the figure to a FIG-file.
Below is the workflow to save subplots in .tiff and .fig formats
for i=1:3
x = randi(10, [1 10]);
y = randi(10, [1 10]);
subplot(3,1,i)
plot(x,y)
filenameTif = sprintf('img%d.tif', i);
filenameFig = sprintf('img%d', i);
saveas(gcf, filenameTif);
saveas(gcf, filenameFig);
end

saveas() can only save entire figures, not subplots by themselves.
