Starting in R2019b, you can use the tiledlayout and nexttile functions to create a configurable tiling of plots. The configuration options include:
- Control over the spacing between the plots and around the edges of the layout
- An option for a shared title at the top of the layout
- Options for shared x- and y-axis labels
- An option to control whether the tiling has a fixed size or variable size that can reflow
An example of 'tiledlayout' used to create a 2x2 group of subplots is written below:
figure()
tcl = tiledlayout(2,2);
nexttile
title('First Subplot')
nexttile
title('Second Subplot')
nexttile
title('Third Subplot')
nexttile
title('Fourth Subplot')
title(tcl,'Subplot Grid Title')
For more information, see Combine Multiple Plots.
Starting in R2018b, you can use the 'sgtitle' function to add a title to a group of subplots. For example:
subplot(2,2,1)
title('First Subplot')
subplot(2,2,2)
title('Second Subplot')
subplot(2,2,3)
title('Third Subplot')
subplot(2,2,4)
title('Fourth Subplot')
sgtitle('Subplot Grid Title')
For more information on the 'sgtitle' function, see https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/sgtitle.html.
In previous releases (before R2018b), you can create the appearance of a super title by creating the subplots in a panel and adding a title to the panel. For more information,
