This example shows how to combine plots in the same axes using the hold function, and how to create multiple axes in a figure using the tiledlayout function. The tiledlayout function is available starting in R2019b. If you are using an earlier release, use the subplot function instead.
Combine Plots in Same Axes
By default, new plots clear existing plots and reset axes properties, such as the title. However, you can use the hold on command to combine multiple plots in the same axes. For example, plot two lines and a scatter plot. Then reset the hold state to off.
When the hold state is on, new plots do not clear existing plots or reset axes properties, such as the title or axis labels. The plots cycle through colors and line styles based on the ColorOrder and LineStyleOrder properties of the axes. The axes limits and tick values might adjust to accommodate new data.
Display Multiple Axes in a Figure
That code already plots multiple lines on the same plot. However, the y range of the second one is much larger than the y range of the first, so the second one takes up most of the space. Sign in to comment. I have two figures with different plots. I would like to merge them into one figure that contains both plots and with keeping the title of the figure and axis-labels (both figures have the same title and axis-labels). How can I do this in Matlab? I should also add that I am not interested in 'do-by-hand' solution. Doesn't this create two 'plots' side by side in the same 'figure'? The question, which I am also asking, is whether there is any easy way to get 2 figures side by side? By default they seem to stack on top of each other.

You can display multiple axes in a single figure by using the tiledlayout function. This function creates a tiled chart layout containing an invisible grid of tiles over the entire figure. Each tile can contain an axes for displaying a plot. After creating a layout, call the nexttile function to place an axes object into the layout. Then call a plotting function to plot into the axes. For example, create two plots in a 2-by-1 layout. Add a title to each plot.
Note: This code uses the tiledlayout function, which is available starting in R2019b. If you are using an earlier release, use the subplot function instead.
Create Plot Spanning Multiple Rows or Columns
To create a plot that spans multiple rows or columns, specify the span argument when you call nexttile. For example, create a 2-by-2 layout. Plot into the first two tiles. Then create a plot that spans one row and two columns.
Modify Axes Appearance
Modify the axes appearance by setting properties on each of the axes objects. You can get the axes object by calling the nexttile function with an output argument. You also can specify the axes object as the first input argument to a graphics function to ensure that the function targets the correct axes.
For example, create two plots and assign the axes objects to the variables ax1 and ax2. Change the axes font size and x-axis color for the first plot. Add grid lines to the second plot.
Control Spacing Around the Tiles
You can control the spacing around the tiles in a layout by specifying the Padding and TileSpacing properties. For example, display four plots in a 2-by-2 layout.
Minimize the spacing around the perimeter of the layout and around each tile by setting the Padding and TileSpacing properties to 'none'.
Display Shared Title and Axis Labels
You can display a shared title and shared axis labels in a layout. Create a 2-by-1 layout t. Then display a line plot and a stem plot. Synchronize the x-axis limits by calling the linkaxes function.

Add a shared title and shared axis labels by passing t to the title, xlabel, and ylabel functions. Move the plots closer together by removing the x-axis tick labels from the top plot and setting the TileSpacing property of t to 'compact'.

pyplot.subplots creates a figure and a grid of subplots with a single call,while providing reasonable control over how the individual plots are created.For more advanced use cases you can use GridSpec for a more general subplotlayout or Figure.add_subplot for adding subplots at arbitrary locationswithin the figure.
A figure with just one subplot¶
subplots() without arguments returns a Figure and a singleAxes.
This is actually the simplest and recommended way of creating a singleFigure and Axes.

Stacking subplots in one direction¶
The first two optional arguments of pyplot.subplots define the number ofrows and columns of the subplot grid.
When stacking in one direction only, the returned axs is a 1D numpy arraycontaining the list of created Axes.
Out:
If you are creating just a few Axes, it's handy to unpack them immediately todedicated variables for each Axes. That way, we can use ax1 instead ofthe more verbose axs[0].
Out:
To obtain side-by-side subplots, pass parameters 1,2 for one row and twocolumns.
Out:
Stacking subplots in two directions¶
When stacking in two directions, the returned axs is a 2D NumPy array.
If you have to set parameters for each subplot it's handy to iterate overall subplots in a 2D grid using foraxinaxs.flat:.
You can use tuple-unpacking also in 2D to assign all subplots to dedicatedvariables:
Sharing axes¶
By default, each Axes is scaled individually. Thus, if the ranges aredifferent the tick values of the subplots do not align.
Out:
You can use sharex or sharey to align the horizontal or vertical axis.
Out:
Setting sharex or sharey to True enables global sharing across thewhole grid, i.e. also the y-axes of vertically stacked subplots have thesame scale when using sharey=True.

For subplots that are sharing axes one set of tick labels is enough. Ticklabels of inner Axes are automatically removed by sharex and sharey.Still there remains an unused empty space between the subplots.
Plot Two Functions In Matlab
To precisely control the positioning of the subplots, one can explicitlycreate a GridSpec with Figure.add_gridspec, and then call itssubplots method. For example, we can reduce the heightbetween vertical subplots using add_gridspec(hspace=0).
label_outer is a handy method to remove labels and ticks from subplotsthat are not at the edge of the grid.
Apart from True and False, both sharex and sharey accept thevalues 'row' and 'col' to share the values only per row or column.
If you want a more complex sharing structure, you can first create thegrid of axes with no sharing, and then call axes.Axes.sharex oraxes.Axes.sharey to add sharing info a posteriori.
Polar axes¶
The parameter subplot_kw of pyplot.subplots controls the subplotproperties (see also Figure.add_subplot). In particular, this can be usedto create a grid of polar Axes.
