This question might be summed up as: can I create an array or vector where each cell is a plot? but there is almost certainly a better way to do this, so the entirety is below.
I currently have files x1.txt, y1.txt, x2.txt, ... which are only numbers and contain the x and y values of some from different data sets (set 1, set 2, ...) and am plotting them on multiple axes. I have a function that looks like the below:
j=1;
while j <= 14
axes('Position',[.06,.94-(j-1)*.065,.93,.04]);
xdata = load(['../matlabresults/x' num2str(j) '.txt']);
ydata = load(['../matlabresults/y' num2str(j) '.txt']);
bar(xdata, ydata)
end
Which does exactly what I want. I want to manipulate these bar graphs later though (to make them visible and invisible upon user control) but they are not saved to a handle. If I do something like:
mylocation = axes('Position',[.06,.94-(j-1)*.065,.93,.04]);
myplot = bar(xdata, ydata)
Then the handle is overwritten each time, whereas if I do something like:
mylocation{j} = axes('Position',[.06,.94-(j-1)*.065,.93,.04]);
myplot{j} = bar(xdata, ydata)
Matlab complains that I can't write those sort of data to an array. Any advice? Is there a natural handle that each of these plots will take?
Note: Using Matlab2011b on MacOSX Lion. Note also that the actual function involves plotting 10 graphs per axes, along with annotation, but I still only want to manipulate one plot at a time (on all the 14 axes) upon user input, and simplified here for space.
