Is it possible to extend a line which is plotted in one subplot to another subplot in same figure

I need to extend a line which I plot in subplot(2,1,1) to subplot(2,1,2). I have used hough transform to detect the lines in subplot(2,1,1), with the values of the lines (ie points), I am constructing a line which is needed to be extended to subplot(2,1,2)

Yes. You just need to turn off "clipping". Here is an example:

rng 'default'

figure

subplot(2,1,1), plot(rand(3,4).'.')
subplot(2,1,2), plot(rand(3,4).'.')

set(gca,'Clipping','Off')
h = line([1.4 2.6],[0.4 1.8]);
ylim([0 1])
set(h,'LineWidth',2)

A few things to note:

• The line is plotted (in this example) in the coordinate system of the bottom subplot, because that is current axes when I create the line.
• You can't specify the line with coordinates from both sets of axes (I believe)
• I had to specify the ylim of the bottom subplot, so that it would not just automatically resize to accommodate the line.

I dint get the expected output. The line is plotted in subplot(2,1,2) alone and outside it the line gets clipped off

Hm. I don't understand why our outputs are different. I can see from the color scheme of our plots that you are using an older version of MATLAB than I am, but I would have expected clipping to behave in the same way.

Sorry, I have no further advice.

Its okay. Thanks for the reply :)

I am getting the clipped result in R2014a in OS-X.
