How do I use two different matlab scripts to plot the figure using subplot?

I have two different matlab scripts that works on different directory which plots the different figures from each script. I don't have any function on both scripts. What I want to do is say I plot first figure from first matlab script than I want to plot next figure from second figure side by side (like subplot function) and so on. Is there any idea we can do like this? let me know any suggestions.

Try this:

figure(1);
plot(1:10, rand(1,10), '-b');
hax1 = gca;

figure(2)
plot(1:20, rand(1,20), '-pr');
hax2 = gca;

f3 = figure(3)
subplot(1,2,1,copyobj(hax1,f3))
subplot(1,2,2,copyobj(hax2,f3))

The figure(3) object will have the plots from the first two figures as subplots. See the documentation for subplot for a full explanation and additional options.

Note that your functions will have to return the axes handles (here ‘hax1’ and ‘hax2’) as outputs so you can use them in the subplots.

Experiment with your code to get the result you want.

Hi there,

Could you please suggest me whether this approach will work ?

Can we save hax1 and hax2 workspace variables as .mat and load in the new script file and use it to plot the following ?

load hax1.mat
load hax2.mat

hax1 = hax1 ;
hax2 = hax2 ;

f3 = figure(3)
subplot(1,2,1,copyobj(hax1,f3))
subplot(1,2,2,copyobj(hax2,f3))

This works, thank you.
