SUBPLOT SUBPLOT Subplot Function Usage This function divides the current figure into a 2-dimensional grid, each of which can contain a plot of some kind. The function has a number of syntaxes. The first version subplot(row,col,num) which either activates subplot number num, or sets up a subplot grid of size row x col, and then activates num. You can also set up subplots that cover multiple grid elements subplot(row,col,[vec]) where vec is a set of indexes covered by the new subplot. Finally, as a shortcut, you can specify a string with three components subplot('mnp') or using the alternate notation subplot mnp where m is the number of rows, n is the number of columns and p is the index. You can also specify the location of the subplot explicitly using the syntax subplot('position',[left bottom width height])
