How to affix a horizontal subplot below a regular plot?

Summary is it. I want to have a regular plot directly above a subplot (horizontal, about half the vertical size of the top plot).

Do you mean like this:

subplot(3, 1, 1:2);
plot(rand(10, 1), 'b.-', 'LineWidth', 2);
grid on;

subplot(3, 1, 3);
plot(rand(10, 1), 'b.-', 'LineWidth', 2);
grid on;

Just use the top 2 plots in a 3x1 grid to do one plot, then the final last plot in the bottom row to do your other plot.

You can even combine different kinds of subplots, like:

% Plot in upper two lanes
subplot(3, 1, 1:2);
plot(rand(10, 1), 'b.-', 'LineWidth', 2);
grid on;
% Plot in lower left
subplot(3, 3, 7);
plot(rand(10, 1), 'b.-', 'LineWidth', 2);
grid on;
% Plot in lower right two panels.
subplot(3, 3, 8:9);
plot(rand(10, 1), 'b.-', 'LineWidth', 2);
grid on;

Thanks so much! The colon syntax never occurred to me.

subplot(3,1,1:2);  plot(rand(10,1))
subplot(3,1,3); plot(rand(10,1));

Thank you.
