shared colorbar for specific plots in tiledlayout

6 views (last 30 days)
I am trying to give the first two plots one shared colorbar and the third one its own but the colorbar for the first two plots is added on the outside of all three plots. I need this to work for all cases of Boolean1 and Boolean2.
Z1 = peaks; Z2 = membrane;
Boolean1 = true; Boolean2 = true;
t = tiledlayout('vertical');
t.Padding = 'compact';
t.TileSpacing = 'compact';
ax1 = nexttile;
contourf(Z1);
colormap(ax1, flipud(gray(256)));
title('Plot 1');
if Boolean1
ax2 = nexttile;
contourf(Z2);
colormap(ax2, flipud(gray(256)));
title('Plot 2');
end
cb1 = colorbar;
cb1.Layout.Tile = 'east';
if Boolean2
ax3 = nexttile;
contourf(Z2);
colormap(ax3, 'jet');
title('Plot 3');
cb2 = colorbar; cb2.Location = 'eastoutside';
end

main(1,1)
function main(Boolean1,Boolean2)
B=[Boolean1,Boolean2];
Z1 = peaks; Z2 = membrane;
if B==[0,0] %#ok<*BDSCA,*BDSCI>
Plot1(gca);colorbar
elseif B==[1,0]
tl();
Plot1(nexttile); Plot2(nexttile);
cb = colorbar; cb.Layout.Tile = 'east';
elseif B==[0,1]
tl();
Plot1(nexttile); colorbar
Plot3(nexttile); colorbar
elseif B==[1,1]
OUT=tl(); IN=tl(OUT); IN.Layout.TileSpan=[2,1];
Plot1(nexttile(IN)); Plot2(nexttile(IN));
cb = colorbar; cb.Layout.Tile = 'east';
Plot3(nexttile(OUT)); colorbar
end
function t=tl(varargin)
t = tiledlayout(varargin{:},'vertical');
t.Padding = 'compact';
t.TileSpacing = 'compact';

Thanks, this worked for me. I condensed it a bit to exclude some elseif statements.
Z1 = peaks; Z2 = membrane;
Boolean1 = true; Boolean2 = true
Boolean2 = logical
1
t = tiledlayout('vertical', 'Padding', 'compact', 'TileSpacing', 'compact');
s = tiledlayout(t, 'vertical', 'Padding', 'compact', 'TileSpacing', 'compact');
ax1 = nexttile(s);
contourf(Z1);
colormap(ax1,flipud(gray(256)));
title('Plot 1');
if Boolean1
s.Layout.TileSpan = [2,1];
ax2 = nexttile(s);
contourf(Z2);
colormap(ax2,flipud(gray(256)));
title('Plot 2');
end
cb = colorbar;
cb.Layout.Tile = 'east';
if Boolean2
ax3 = nexttile(t);
contourf(Z2);
colormap(ax3, 'jet');
title('Plot 3');
colorbar;
end

Using nestedLayouts from the File Exchange,
Z1 = peaks; Z2 = membrane;
Boolean1 = true; Boolean2 = true;
if Boolean2
[ax,t,T]=nestedLayouts([2,1],[2,1]);
else
[ax,t,T]=nestedLayouts([1,1],[2,1]);
end
[t.Padding] = deal('compact');
[t.TileSpacing] = deal('compact');
axes(ax(1))
contourf(Z1);
colormap(ax(1), flipud(gray(256)));
title('Plot 1');
cb1 = colorbar;
cb1.Layout.Tile = 'east';
%%Additional plots, conditional on Booleans
if Boolean1
axes(ax(2));
contourf(Z2);
colormap(ax(2), flipud(gray(256)));
title('Plot 2');
else
ax(1).Layout.TileSpan=[2,1]; delete(ax(2));
end
if Boolean2
ax(3).Layout.TileSpan=[2,1]; delete(ax(4));
axes(ax(3))
contourf(Z2);
colormap(ax(3), 'jet');
title('Plot 3');
cb2 = colorbar; cb2.Location = 'eastoutside';
end
