How to apply the same style/color and axes labels to all subplots?

44 views (last 30 days)
Hello, here is a snippet of code. The LineStyle, Color, Xlabel and Ylabel are the same for all four subplots. Is there a way to write this out once instead of copying and pasting those 4 lines under each subplot over and over. Thank you.
colors = ["k"; "r";"g";"r";"g"];
lines = ["-"; "-";"-";"--";"--"];
tiledlayout(2,2);
nexttile
hold on
for xx = 1:n
h = cdfplot(sort_er1(start(xx):end(xx),columnb));
h.LineStyle = lines(xx); %This is the same for all subplots
h.Color = colors(xx); %This is the same for all subplots
end
hold off
xlabel('B [%]') %This is the same for all subplots
ylabel('Probability') %This is the same for all subplots
title('er1')
nexttile
hold on
for xx = 1:n
h = cdfplot(sort_er2(start(xx):end(xx),columnb));
end
hold off
title('er2')
nexttile
hold on
for xx = 1:n
h = cdfplot(sort_er3(start(xx):end(xx),columnb));
end
hold off
title('er3')
nexttile
hold on
for xx = 1:n
h = cdfplot(sort_er4(start(xx):end(xx),columnb));
end
hold off
title('er4')

colors = ["k"; "r";"g";"r";"g"];
lines = ["-"; "-";"-";"--";"--"];
tiledlayout(2,2);
ax(1) = nexttile ;
plot(rand(10,1)) ;
title('er1')
ax(2) = nexttile ;
plot(rand(10,1)) ;
title('er2')
ax(3) = nexttile ;
plot(rand(10,1)) ;
title('er3')
ax(4) = nexttile ;
plot(rand(10,1)) ;
title('er4')
xlabel(ax,'B [%]') %This is the same for all subplots
ylabel(ax,'Probability') %This is the same for all subplots

Thank you, I was able to apply the axes labels. Do you know about the LineStyle and line Colors, however? I am not sure how to apply those once.

Another approach for your consideration.
Noticed that the following example is only applicable provided all subplots have the same number of lines.
A = randi(100,10,5,4);
t = tiledlayout(2,2);
nexttile
plot(A(:,:,1));
nexttile
plot(A(:,:,2));
nexttile
plot(A(:,:,3));
nexttile
plot(A(:,:,4));
objAx = findobj(t.Children,'Type','Axes'); % Find objects with Type Axes
ylabel(objAx,'Same YLabel'); % Write YLabel
xlabel(objAx,'Same XLabel'); % Write XLabel
%
colors = ["k";"r";"g";"r";"g"];
colorsAll = repmat(colors,length(objAx),1); % Provided all subplots have the same number of lines
lines = ["-";"-";"-";"--";"--"];
linesAll = repmat(lines,length(objAx),1); % Provided all subplots have the same number of lines
obj = findobj(t.Children,'Type','Line'); % Find objects with Type Line
for k = 1:length(obj)
obj(k).Color = colorsAll(k); % Change line color
obj(k).LineStyle = linesAll(k); % Change line style
end
