Hi everyone,
I would like to make one Colorbar for a 2x2 subplot on right hand side. I have read the answer of a similar question: https://uk.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/144453-how-to-make-one-colorbar-for-all-subplots
But I couldn't see the tick of the colorbar as well as the title. Could you please help?
Thanks
Here is my code:

subplot(2,2,1)

The problem is with the location and size of the colorbar. By changing the Position of the colobar to the left i.e., reduce the left value of the position: [left bottom width height] you can see the complete colorbar but on the top of subplots 2 & 4.
For this particular problem I would suggest you to make a subplot grid of 2x3 instead of 2x2 so that you can make use of the space of 3 & 6 subplots and change the Position property of the colorbar accordingly. The following code will help you
