How to make a odd number plot look aligned using subplot or tiledlayout?

Hi all,

I want my figures to appear this way using subplot or tiledlayout. Please help me to get it done.

Happy with the following?

x=-2*pi:0.1:2*pi;
y1=sin(x);
y2=cos(x);
y3=sin(x);
y4=sinh(x);
y5=cosh(x);

figure(1)
clf
subplot(2,3,1)
plot(x,y1)
subplot(2,3,2)
plot(x,y2)
subplot(2,3,3)
plot(x,y3)
subplot(2,2,3)
plot(x,y4)
subplot(2,2,4)
plot(x,y5)

Similar effect:

figure(2)
clf
tiledlayout(2,6);
nexttile([1,2])
plot(x,y1);
nexttile([1,2])
plot(x,y2)
nexttile([1,2])
plot(x,y3)
nexttile([1,3])
plot(x,y4)
nexttile([1,3])
plot(x,y5)

If you want the same size for axes, you can try the following:

figure(3)
clf
ax1=subplot(2,3,1);
ax2=plot(x,y1);
subplot(2,3,2)
plot(x,y2)
ax3=subplot(2,3,3);
plot(x,y3)
ax4=subplot(2,3,4); % this subplot is to get the position
pos4=ax4.Position;
ax5=subplot(2,3,5);
pos5=ax5.Position;
ax6=subplot(2,3,6);
pos6=ax6.Position;
% change x-position
pos7=pos4; 
pos7(1)=(pos4(1)+pos5(1))/2;
pos8=pos4; 
pos8(1)=(pos5(1)+pos6(1))/2;
% use subplot with 'Position' option and plot your graphs
subplot('Position',pos7)
plot(x,y4)
subplot('Position',pos8)
plot(x,y5)

@G A Thank yo uso much the first one worked fine just as others. Could you please explain what the keystone is here in making it? is it the clf command? I am novice so I really aprpeciate it!

Thanks

You are welcome.

clf means: clear figure. Type doc subplot and doc nexttile in Matlab window and you will get a lot of information there. Keystone here: (i) for subplot define a grid twice: 2X3 grid (two rows, three columns) the first time and plot y1,y2 and y3 on the top row (axes 1,2 and 3); 2x2 grid the second time and plot y4 and y5 on the bottom row (axes 3 and 4); (ii) for nexttile use possibility of using several grid cells for one plot (this approach can be used for subplot as well - I have not demonstrated it here - the idea is the same); (iii) to have the same size for axes on the top and bottom row in the case of subplot, use option subplot('Position',pos) - see the Matlab documentation.
