make spaces in subplot

Hi,

I am using subplot to plot a number of graphs (see program below). The graphs in the subplot are too close to each other and the title of the graph (on top of each graph) is overlapped with the x axis of the above graph. Is there a way to increase the row space between the graphs? Many thanks in advance.

for i = 1:nvar 
subplot(8,5,i); 
plot(cell2mat(nonstnlist(2:end,i))); 
set(gca,'XLim',[1,obs]); 
title(nonstnlist(1,i),'interpreter','non'); 
saveas(gca,'nonstnlist.fig'); 
end

You could try something like this,

magfactor = 4;   %play with this.

sprows = 8 * magfactor - 1;
spcols = 5;

for i = 1 : nvar
  sp_logical_row = 1 + floor((i - 1) ./ spcols);
  sp_logical_col = i + mod(i - 1, spcols)
  sp_group = (sp_logical_row - 1:sp_logical_row + magfactor - 1 - 1) * magfactor + sp_logical_col;
  subplot(sprows, spcols, sp_group);
  .... drawing commands here
end

If I have worked everything out correctly, then what this does is divides each row up into "magfactor" parts, and draws in the top (magfactor - 1) of them, leaving the bottom one empty to provide a buffer between rows.

Thanks very much Walter.
