The question about subfigure size and property loop scripts

1. There are many similar subfigure property in my scripts, how can I simplify it?
2. How could I change the size of each subfigure? It looks a little crowded, I want them distribute more evenly on my figure.

load('C:\EEG_OVGU\F01_spectra\F01_spectra_01figure\EAF1_mean_spectra.mat')

figure('Position', [25 50 1200 880]) % [left bottom width height]

set(gcf,'color',[1 1 1]);

% ED1

% get(gcf)

subplot(3,6,1);

x = 1:45;

h1 = plot(x, ME_ED1_all); % h1 = plot(x, ME_ED1_all(1,1:30));

hold on

h2 = plot(x, MR_ED1_all);

h01 = plot([3,3],[0,7],'--','color',[0.5 0.5 0.5]); % 画竖线 plot([x1,x2],[y1,y2])

h02 = plot([7,7],[0,7],'--','color',[0.5 0.5 0.5]);

h03 = plot([11,11],[0,7],'--','color',[0.5 0.5 0.5]);

h04 = plot([14,14],[0,7],'--','color',[0.5 0.5 0.5]);

h05 = plot([30,30],[0,7],'--','color',[0.5 0.5 0.5]);

xticks([3 7 11 14 30]);

% xticklabels({'Delta','Theta','Alpha I','Alpha II','Beta'})

% xticklabels({'\delta','\theta','\alphaI','\alphaII','\beta'})

legend([h1,h2],'Eye yoga group', 'Reading group','FontSize',7, 'box', 'off');

ax = gca;

ax.XAxis.FontSize = 7; ax.YAxis.FontSize = 7;

title('ED1 all region');

xlabel('Frequency(Hz)');

ylabel('Spectral Power(µV)');

set(gca,'XLim',[0, 45],'YLim',[0, 7]);

set(h1,'LineStyle','-','LineWidth',1.5,'Color',[0.85,0.45,0.42]);

set(h2,'LineStyle','-','LineWidth',1.5,'Color',[0.45,0.5,0.7]);

% get(legend)

hold off

subplot(3,6,2);

x = 1:45;

h3 = plot(x, ME_ED1_frontal);

hold on

h4 = plot(x, MR_ED1_frontal);

h01 = plot([3,3],[0,7],'--','color',[0.5 0.5 0.5]); % 画竖线 plot([x1,x2],[y1,y2])

xticks([3 7 11 14 30]);

% xticklabels({'Delta','Theta','Alpha I','Alpha II','Beta'})

legend([h1,h2],'Eye yoga group', 'Reading group','FontSize',7, 'box', 'off');

ax = gca;

ax.XAxis.FontSize = 7; ax.YAxis.FontSize = 7;

title('ED1 frontal region');

set(gca,'XLim',[0, 45],'YLim',[0, 7]);

set(h3,'LineStyle','-','LineWidth',1.5,'Color',[0.85,0.45,0.42]);

I would create a function that accepts data (and possibly an axes handle) and performs the necessary setup. The example below requires the user to pass the axes into which to plot, the data to plot, and the label to use for the legend into it and uses the same settings for the axes color, line style and size, and marker and marker size.

ax1 = subplot(3, 1, 1);
x = 0:360;
plotAndConfigure(ax1, x, sind(x), 'Sine');

ax2 = subplot(3, 1, 2);
plotAndConfigure(ax2, x, cosd(x), 'Cosine');

ax3 = subplot(3, 1, 3);
plotAndConfigure(ax3, x, tand(x), 'Tangent');

function plotAndConfigure(theaxes, xdata, ydata, label)
h = plot(theaxes, xdata, ydata, ':*', ...
    'MarkerIndices', 1:30:length(xdata), ...
    'DisplayName', label, ...
    'LineWidth', 2);
theaxes.Color = 'c';

% Double the default marker size
h.MarkerSize = 2*h.MarkerSize;

legend show
end

Thank you very much for your reply.

plotAndConfigure(ax1, x, sind(x), 'Sine'); It just can set only one line in a subfigure, but each subfigure of my data has two lines, how can I hold on them with figure properties? Some of properities are same, some are different.
