Why subplot omitted?

Hi. I 've tried to draw 4x6 subplots in 1 figure. But the problem is ...

When I execute code

======================================================================

pos1 = [0.025 0.68 0.14 0.17];

subplot(4,6,1 , 'Position', pos1)

pos2 = [0.19 0.68 0.14 0.17];

subplot(4,6,2 , 'Position', pos2)

pos3 = [0.35 0.68 0.14 0.17];

subplot(4,6,3 , 'Position', pos3)

pos4 = [0.51 0.68 0.14 0.17];

subplot(4,6,4 , 'Position', pos4)

pos5 = [0.68 0.68 0.14 0.17];

subplot(4,6,5 , 'Position', pos5)

pos6 = [0.85 0.68 0.14 0.17];

subplot(4,6,6 , 'Position', pos6)

======================================================================

What I want is draw 6 subplots in line. But there are only 5 subplots(1,2,3,4,6). 5th subplot is omitted.

So When I entered the 5th subplot code through the command window, 6 subplots were drawn.

Why 5th subplot is omitted when I run the code?

Hey @sungkyum Kim

I too encountered this issue in MATLAB R2020a and there are two ways to solve this issue either by using only the auto grid axes positioning or by using only custom positions. Kindly follow the steps given below:

1. Auto grid axes positioning

Use the syntax:

subplot(m,n,p)

For example:

subplot(4,6,1) 
subplot(4,6,2) 
subplot(4,6,3) 
subplot(4,6,4) 
subplot(4,6,5) 
subplot(4,6,6) 

2. Custom positions

Use the syntax:

subplot('Position',pos)

For example:

pos1 = [0.025 0.68 0.14 0.17]; 
subplot('Position', pos1) 
pos2 = [0.19 0.68 0.14 0.17]; 
subplot('Position', pos2) 
pos3 = [0.35 0.68 0.14 0.17]; 
subplot('Position', pos3) 
pos4 = [0.51 0.68 0.14 0.17]; 
subplot('Position', pos4) 
pos5 = [0.68 0.68 0.14 0.17];  
subplot('Position', pos5) 
pos6 = [0.85 0.68 0.14 0.17]; 
subplot('Position', pos6)
