How to shrink each figure inside a subplot ?

5 views (last 30 days)
Hello Friends,
Suppose I have the following example:
figure
for ii = 1:5
subplot(1, 5, ii)
plot(ii, sin(ii));
end
This creates a figure containing 1x5 subfigures. Each of these subfigures has its own horizontal/vertical lengths which I want to shrink/increase.
Please advise!

You could achieve this by modifying the "Position" (or "OuterPosition") property for each of the five individual "axes".
For example to reduce the "Width" and "Height" for each of the five individual axes to 50%, please see the code snippet below:
figure
for ii = 1:5
subplot(1, 5, ii)
plot(ii, sin(ii));
tmp=get(gca,'position');
set(gca,'position',[tmp(1) tmp(2) 0.5*tmp(3) 0.5*tmp(4)])
end
For more information on "axes properties", please refer to the following documentation page:

Thank you Vinod. It was precisely what I needed. Can you or someone else also help me with my other question I posted here, but no one is answering it:
