How to plot results from each iteration of a for loop SEPARATELY

Hi all,

I would like to know how i can plot results obtained through a for loop on seperate plots. I understand that i can plot each itteration result on the same plot, but i need to plot each itteration on a seperate plot so they can be closely analysed.

Any help would be great, thanks !

You can do this in separate windows using the figure function:

for i = 1:3
    figure
    plot(rand(1,10))
end

In separate axes within a figure using nexttile (requires 2019b or later, for earlier versions see subplot)

figure;
tiledlayout('flow');
for i = 1:10
    nexttile
    plot(rand(1,10))
end

(or if you want them in a specific grid shape):

figure
t=tiledlayout(5,2);
for i = 1:10
    nexttile
    plot(rand(1,10))
end

Or you can try stackedplot if you don't have too many and you can put them all into a table or matrix:

figure
stackedplot(rand(100,4))

Thanks Dave, works perfectly !

is there a way to generate different titles for each plot generated, for the first method you suggested ? so it would generate titles like Figure1, Figure 2 etc for each plot

yep, you can use the title command with any of these methods. There are surprsingly many approaches to appending a number onto a word (Figure 1), but the easiest in my opinion is to use strings like this:

for i = 1:3
    figure
    plot(rand(1,10))
    title("Figure " + i)
end
