X-axis coincidence in different subplots

Hello:

I have some problems with colorbar. I have to subplot n figures in a column. They have the same x-axis, some of them are pcolor and others no. I want to locate the colorbar in the left or right in all the pcolor. The “vertical” x-axis of these pcolor coincide, but the others subplots, despite of having the same limits, don’t coincide because of the colorbar. I want a kind of EastOutside location that “works” as NorthOutside location (don’t disturb the x-axis). Here is an example of my problem.

x=1:10; y=1:10; [X,Y]=meshgrid(x,y); Z=(X.^2+Y.^2);

figure

subplot 211

pcolor(X,Y,Z)

shading interp

colorbar

%colorbar('location','Northoutside')

%”solves” my problem but I want it left o right

subplot 212

plot(x,y)

Thanks in advance.
