Make subplot span across multiple slots

assume a figure split as a 4x3 grid,

I would like to display 6 plots in a single image, 2 big ones and 4 small ones, in the following way

• Plot A should take the 4 leftmost, topmost cells
• Plot B should take the 4 rightmost, topmost cells
• Plots C, D, E, f should take the 4 last cells

+-+-+-+-+
|A|A|B|B|
+-+-+-+-+
|A|A|B|B| 
+-+-+-+-+
|C|D|E|F|
+-+-+-+-+

I know it is possible to have a plot span on multiple columns in a single row, but is it possible to make it span multiple rows?

Sure, just save a handle as there's not a unique number for any of 'em if do it this way...as long as you don't overwrite an existing grid location numer accidentally, you should be ok--

>> p(1)=subplot(3,4,[1 2 5 6]);
>> p(2)=subplot(3,4,[3 4 7 8]);
>> p(3)=subplot(3,4,[9 10]);
>> p(4)=subplot(3,4,[11 12])
p =
173.0068  174.0068  175.0068  176.0068

This works, but sometimes this messes up the axes labels...

Yes. subplot(4,4,[1 2 5 6])

Hi friends..

how to code to display all subplots in one figure for mm and nn for example: mm and nn are 5*5 or 6*4.. whatever.. its possible to make general code, whatever mm and nn is, should subplot accordingly.

5*5=25 subplots 6*4=24 subplots.. etc

in normal way..i know we code as plot(1,1); subplot(5,5,1) ..

I hope someone can help me to generate code as general cause I am dealing with more data's with different mm and nn

thanks in advance

try subplot(m, n, 1)

As Rick shows, you can use variables in the argument to subplot; your task is to compute what M,N you want for a given number of total plots; if the choices are just between 24 and 25, it's pretty-much a no-brainer.
