Plot on different figures during a loop

Hi,

I'm extracting from different files some data that have ot plot on the same plot, I use a loop like

 figure, hold on

 for j=1:m
  s=load(fileA{j});
  t=load(fileB{j});
  plot (t(:,1),t(:,2),'-r+')
 end

I'd like to plot t(:,1),t(:,2) on figure 1, and for example t(:,1),t(:,3) on another figure. Is it possible to do it in the same loop?

thanks for your help

Yes. When you call the figure() command, call it with an input argument:

>> figure(1)
>> figure(2)

Then, before you do the particular plotting command, call figure() again, using the input argument that you want to plot to:

>> figure(1)
>> plot(1:10)
>> figure(2)
>> plot(2:11)

When the figure number already exists, it makes that figure current.

You might want to read "doc figure", "doc gcf", and "doc hold" to make sure you don't overwrite the plot that is already there in that figure.

Easy, clear and elegant. I like to keep my codes simple and I like answers like this. Thank you!

Is the same thing possible with gscatter () ?

Yes

Use this instead:

for j=1:m
  s=load(fileA{j});
  t=load(fileB{j});
  for i=2:size(t,2)
      figure(i),plot(t(:,1),t(:,i),'-r+')
      hold on
  end
end
hold off

Thanks for the idea, I wrote something like that to plot the two different files

for j=1:m

s=load(fileA{j});

t=load(fileB{j});

for i=2:size(t,2)

figure(i),plot(t(:,1),t(:,i),'-r+')

hold on

end

for k=2:size(s:2)

figure(i+k), plot(s(:,1),t(:,i),'-r+')

hold on

end

end

hold off

just get the handles from those axes and use them as first argument in the plot

figure
hax1=axes

figure
hax2=axes

plot (hax1,t(:,1),t(:,2),'-r+')
plot (hax2,t(:,1),t(:,3),'-r+')
