# Double y-axis plot in Matlab

Tags: plotting matlab
 P: 19 Good Day Everybody, Please assist me on these problems 1. I wish to put six plots on the same plot using matlab. The details of each plot are stated below PLOT 1 x axis range 0:1 y axis range 0:1 PLOT 2 x axis range 0:1 y axis range 0:1 PLOT 3 x axis range 0:1 y axis range 0:1 PLOT 4 x axis range 0:1 y axis range 0:1 PLOT 5 x axis range 0:1 y axis range 0:2 PLOT 6 x axis range 0:1 y axis range 0:7 Please how do I put all these plots on one single plot despite different y axis range? Thanks Best regards, adeeyo
 PF Gold P: 4,182 y-axis range is decided only by y-data, not by axes, so they are already independent in that regard. There are three ways you can put multiple axes on one figure. 1. create each axes and manually place its position on the figure 2. use 'subplot', a built-in matlab function 3. use 'subaxis' a open source matlab function avaialable on the matlab file exchange.
 P: 19 Thanks Pythagorean. Subplot will not work as I want all the plots to overlay on the same plot. Please advise on how to create each axes and manually place its position on the figure. Thanks adeeyo

## Double y-axis plot in Matlab

axes1 = axes;
set(axes1,'Position',X)

Where X is a four element vector giving (in order): horizontal position of lower left corner, vertical position of lower left corner, width, height.

Units are normalized to the figure (0 to 1), so X=[0 0 1 1] would fill the whole figure.

Now just copy this analogy to make more axes, hand select their positions such that they overlap.
 Sci Advisor PF Gold P: 1,457 if you plot all of the data sets at once, you then can set the axis using the command: axis([0 1 0 7]); which should work nicely.... plot (x1,y1); hold all; etc.... plot(x6, y6) hold off; axis([01 0 7]);
