R2019b tiled layout

Hi everybody,

I was playing with the new tiledlayout function.

But if you deviate from the default settings the colorbar looks strange.

Any ideas how to fix that? I tried to manipulate the colorbar position property but this yielded missing references to the colorbar object.

t = tiledlayout(1,2)
t.TileSpacing = 'compact';

nexttile
imagesc(rand(16))
axis image
colorbar
title('1')

nexttile
imagesc(rand(16))
axis normal
colorbar
title('2')

"the colorbar looks strange"

I assume you mean that the colorbar size doesn't scale with the axis size after applying axis image. This should probably be addressed by The MathWorks but in the mean time, you could use subplot() to define your axes and the colobars will scale to the axis size.

subplot(2,2,1)
imagesc(rand(16))
axis image
colorbar
title('1')
subplot(2,2,2)
imagesc(rand(16))
axis normal
colorbar
title('2')

Hi Adam,

in the mean time I already went for the solution with a subplot. But I never really like the spacing between tiles in a subplot, thats why I tried tiledLayout.

Thanks anyway

There are a few ways around that.

1) After creating the subplots you can change their size and positions using the h.Position property where h is the subplot handle.

2) You can create your own axes using the axes('position',[L,R,H,V]) syntax.

3) You can use this file exchange function where you can set the margins sizes
