doc subplot
Adjust boundaries to fit the axes
ADDENDUM:
Sorry, didn't have time to demo before -- here's a rough cut start...
for i=1:3,hA(i)=subplot(3,1,i);end % create the 3 axes, save handles
p=cell2mat(get(hA,'position')); % get the positions
ptop=p(1,2)+p(1,4); % and compute to fit, adjust...
htavg=(ptop-p(3,2))/3
p(:,4)=htavg;
for i=2:-1:1,p(i,2)=p(i+1,2)+htavg;end
for i=1:3,set(hA(i),'position',p(i,:)),end
for i=1:3,set(hA(i),'box','on'),end
set(hA,'xlim',[1870 1990]) % now fiddle w/ axes limits, etc., ...
set(hA(1:2),'xtick',[])
for i=1:3,ylim(hA(i),[-3 4]),end
You'll likely want to use datenum and datetick for the x-axes--just remember need to set the limits the same for all three even though you're not showing them for the two.
