subplot for 'controlchart' function

Hello,, I was wondering if somebody knows how to subplot with the 'controlchart' function , apparently the normal routine .. subplot(2,2,1) etc, doesn’t work. Thanks

Use the 'parent' option

ax(1) = subplot(2,1,1);
plot(ax(1), rand(1,20));

ax(2) = subplot(2,1,2);

load parts
st = controlchart(runout,'chart',{'xbar'}, 'Parent', ax(2));

Note: when you use 'Parent', you can only 'chart' one chart at a time, because when you ask to chart multiple items, it needs to create subplots.

@Walter Roberson is there any way to change the 'LCL/UCL' 'violation' and 'center' line colors? Thanks.

[Walter Roberson]

Suppose that you parented to an axes handle named ax, then

ax.Children(1) %-> handle to LCL/UCL line
ax.Children(2) %-> handle to Center line
ax.Children(3) %-> handle to Violation line
ax.Children(4) %-> handle to Data line

You can use those to change colors, such as

ax.Children(1).Color = 'k';
ax.Children(2).Color = 'm';
