How to use scrollable subplots in a tabbed panel? (function scrollsubplot)

I want to display all my calculation results in one figure window with tabbed panels.

As I would like to show multiple subplots in one tab, I started using the FileExchange function "scrollsubplot" (https://de.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/7730-scrollsubplot) , which seems to work fine for using subplots in an figure without tabs, but when trying to run it inside a tab panel, an error occurs.

Here is the code I use for creating simple standard subplots in a tabbed panel (which works fine, but is highly unconfortable for many subplots):

    f = figure();
    tab1 = uitab();
    ax1 = axes('Parent', tab1);

    x= linspace(-1, 1, 20);
    y=x;

    subplot(2,2,1);
    plot(x, y);

And here ist the Code which uses the function "scrollsubplot" and displays an error:

   f = figure();
   tab1 = uitab();
   ax1 = axes('Parent', tab1);

   x= linspace(-1, 1, 20);
   y=x;

   scrollsubplot(2,2,1); %The only change
   plot(x, y);

The Error says:

" Error using / Matrix dimensions must agree.

Error in scrollsubplot (line 247) 'sliderstep',[1/nrows 1]/(1/((nrows)/max(1,1+maxrownr(:)-minrownr(:)-nrows)))) " .

I appreciate every help and am thankful for every clue!

Hi Sven,

I was able to get this to work by making a small change to your code:

f = figure();
tab1 = uitab();
x= linspace(-1, 1, 20);
y=x;
ax = scrollsubplot(2,2,1);
ax.Parent = tab1;
plot(x,y)

I'm not familiar with scroll subplot, but it looks like it wants to create its own axes, which you can then parent to the tab.
