Histogram inside a plot.

I have a histogram which I wish to be plotted inside a scatter plot at the bottom left corner.

I tried using the following but it did'nt work:

handaxes2 = axes('position', [-5 -5 1 1]);

nbins = 100;

hist(dev,nbins);

set(handaxes2, 'box', 'off');

Hi @Priya,

The “position” property of the “axes” function determines the position with respect to the bottom-left corner of the container (typically a figure, panel, or tab). Specifying negative values for the “left” and “bottom” attributes of the “position” property will move the histogram image out of the figure and does not achieve your intended purpose. To keep the image in the bottom-left corner of the scatter plot, we can use small but positive values for the “left” and “bottom” attributes, and we will be able to achieve the desired results. For more information about this, you can refer to the following documentation:

Additionally, I modified the code so that it works as intended in MATLAB R2014a.

insetPosition = [0.15, 0.15, 0.2, 0.2]; % [left, bottom, width, height] 
insetAxes = axes('Position', insetPosition); 
hist(dev, 100); 
set(insetAxes, 'Box', 'off'); 

Using this code on a random sample data, we get the output as below:
