Create axes in tiled chart layout
nexttile
creates an axes object and places it into the next empty
tile of the tiled chart layout that is in the current figure. If there is no layout in the
current figure, then nexttile
creates a new layout and configures it
using the 'flow'
tile arrangement. The resulting axes object is the
current axes, so the next plotting command can plot into it.
nexttile(
creates an axes object that
spans across multiple rows or columns of the grid in the center of the layout. Specify
span
)span
as a vector of the form [r c]
. The axes spans
r
rows by c
columns of tiles. The upper left corner
of the axes is positioned in the upper left corner of the first empty
r
-by-c
region in the grid.
nexttile(
assigns the current
axes to be the axes or standalone visualization in the tile specified by
tilelocation
)tilelocation
. Typically, this syntax is useful when you want to modify
an existing axes or standalone visualization. However, in some cases,
nexttile
creates a new axes object:
When the specified tile is empty, nexttile
creates an axes
object in that tile.
When the specified tile contains part of an axes or standalone visualization
object, but not its upper left corner, nexttile
replaces the
existing object. For example, if tilelocation
refers to a tile in
the middle of an axes object that spans multiple tiles, nexttile
replaces the existing axes object with a new one in the tile you specify.
nexttile(
creates an axes object that spans across multiple rows or columns, starting at the tile
specified by tilelocation
,span
)tilelocation
. If the tile you specify is occupied by an axes
or standalone visualization, nexttile
either makes that object the
current axes or replaces it:
If the existing axes or standalone visualization object spans across the same set
of tiles as the tilelocation
and span
arguments
specify, then nexttile
makes that object the current axes.
If the existing axes or standalone visualization object spans across a different
set of tiles than the tilelocation
and span
arguments specify, then nexttile
replaces the existing object
with a new axes object using the new tilelocation
and
span
values.
nexttile(
operates on the
tiled chart layout specified by t
,___)t
. Specify t
before
all other input arguments. This syntax is useful when you are working with multiple layouts,
or when the layout is in a panel or tab instead of a figure.
ax = nexttile(___)
returns the axes object. Use
ax
to set properties on the axes. You can also pass
ax
as an input argument to other graphics functions that operate on an
axes object. For example, you can call the colormap
or
colororder
function to change the color scheme for the axes.
