I have n saved fig files (all the figures are pcolor figure) and I want to plot all the figures in one new subplot (n X 2). Can anyone please help me out here? I will be really really grateful :)
% Open each figure and copy content
for i = 1:nFig
% Open fig-i
filename = fullfile(rep,list(i).name);
fighand = openfig(filename,'invisible');
h=subplot(nFig,2,i);
% Close fig-i
close(fighand)
end
You can use copyobj to copy the contents of an existing axes to a target axes. See comments for explanation:
N = 4;
%% generate some figs
fig = cell(1,N);
for k = 1:N
fig{k} = figure(k);
fig{k}.Name = sprintf('fig_%i', k);
pcolor(rand(10));
xlabel(sprintf('some xlabel %i',k))
ylabel(sprintf('some ylabel %i',k))
savefig(fig{k}, fig{k}.Name)
end
%% load figs and make nice subplot
fig_all = figure(99);clf;
for k = 1:N
% load figure
fig_tmp = openfig(sprintf('fig_%i', k),'invisible');
% set fig_all as the current figure again
figure(fig_all);
% create target axes
ax_target = subplot(N/2,2,k);
pcolor(ax_target, rand(5)*0.001); cla; % plot some random pcolor stuff to setup axes correctly
% get the source data and copy to target axes
ax_src = fig_tmp.Children;
copyobj(ax_src.Children, ax_target);
% set axes properties of target to those of the source
ax_target.XLim = ax_src.XLim;
ax_target.YLim = ax_src.YLim;
% copy the axes labels
ax_target.XLabel.String = ax_src.XLabel.String;
ax_target.YLabel.String = ax_src.YLabel.String;
end
