Merging existing subplots into a single one

50 views (last 30 days)
Lets say I have two subplots, both of dimensions (2,1), saved as matlab figures. Is there any way for me to merge them into a single subplot figure of dimensions (2,2)?

Hi, for two images, maybe try the imshowpair function. For two plots, you can try to use the hold on command.
Tell me if it helps,

This is a surprisingly difficult task. You will have to copy all objects to the same figure and adapt the Position properties of all children of the two figures. I doubt calls like subplot(2,2,__) are going to work after that.
It is often easier to make sure your plotting code accepts an axes handle as input. That way your plotting code is not dependent on the surrounding figure, making it much easiers to copy all objects over.

Sure, considering these are the figures I want to merge: 'left.fig' & 'right.fig'. They look like this:
Sorry, but I'm not sure I have the Matlab knowledge to execute your explanation, yet! : D
