Figures into subplots

Is there a way to take a figure (*.fig file, or just any open figure) and insert it completely into a subplot? (I think I can do it by copying each handle of the figure, but I'm looking for an easier way.)

Answer 1

[Daniel Shub]

Copying into a subplot would be difficult. Technically subplots are just an axis, but figures can have children that cannot be parented by an axis. A better choice might be to make a gird of uipanels. Any object that can be a child of a figure, can also be parented by a uipanel. You can then use the findobj and copyobj functions to copy your figure to a uipanel. Note that a uipanel grid will not behave identically to axes made with subplot.

Try something like this (the for loop):

clc; clear all; close all;
%-------------------------------------------------------------------------%
s = tf('s');
%-------------------------------------------------------------------------%
G = (s+40)/((s^2)+(1.2*s)+4);
%-------------------------------------------------------------------------%
lw = 2;
for i = 1:2
    
subplot(2,1,i)
    if i == 1
        h = figure(1);
            [mag, fase, w] = bode(G);
            hObj = semilogx(w, 20*log10(squeeze(mag)), 'linewidth', lw);
            [max_val, index] = max(mag);
            cursorMode = datacursormode(h);
            hDatatip = cursorMode.createDatatip(hObj);
            pos = [w(index) 20*log10(mag(index))];
            set(get(hDatatip, 'DataCursor'), 'DataIndex', index, 'TargetPoint', pos);
            set(hDatatip, 'Position', pos);
            updateDataCursors(cursorMode);
            xlabel('Frequência [rad/s]')
            ylabel('Magnitude [dB]')
            grid on;
    end
    
    if i == 2 
        h = figure(1);
            semilogx(w, squeeze(fase), 'linewidth', lw);
            xlabel('Frequência [rad/s]')
            ylabel('Fase [graus]')
            grid on;
    end
end
