How to have two plot in the same, each plot is the rusult of a specific function

This is the code in the main function

figure
tiledlayout(2,1)
nexttile
%Plot superiore, Tensione di vapore calcolata a TMax e TMin
plotDoppioAsseX(VetTempAssegnate(:,1), VettoreTenVap2(:,1),stringVetTempAssegnate1,stringVettoreTenVap2,VetTempAssegnate(:,2),VettoreTenVap2(:,2),stirngVetTempAssegnate2,stringVettoreTenVap2)
nexttile
%Plot inferiore 
plotDoppioAsseX(VetTempAssegnate(:,1), VettoreTCalcolate2,stringVetTempAssegnate1,stringVettoreTCalcolate2,VetTempAssegnate(:,2),VettoreTCalcolate2,stirngVetTempAssegnate2,stringVettoreTCalcolate2)

This is the called function

function []=plotDoppioAsseX2(compAsseX1, compAsseY1,labelX1,labelY1,compAsseX2,compAsseY2,labelX2,labelY2)
t = tiledlayout(1,1);
ax1 = axes(t);
plot(ax1,compAsseX1,compAsseY1,'-r')
xlabel(labelX1)
ylabel(labelY1)
ax1.XColor = 'r';
ax1.YColor = 'r';
ax2 = axes(t);
plot(ax2,compAsseX2,compAsseY2,'-k')
title(strcat(labelX1,' e ',labelX2,' vs. ',labelY2))
grid on
xlabel(labelX2)
ylabel(labelY2)
ax2.XAxisLocation = 'top';
ax2.YAxisLocation="right";
ax1.Box = 'off';
ax2.Box = 'off';
end

The error when I run the main function is:

"Error using nexttile

The layout does not have sufficient space."

What I'm trying to do is to show a figure with two plots. Each on those have two x axes and two y axes.

I used the funtion "plotDoppioAsseX2" to create a model to plot two x axes and two y axes. So I passed x,y, label,ect. as parameters.

Then I called twice the funtion "plotDoppioAsseX2" to create the two plots to add at the figure.

I don't know if this is the best way to do this. Let me know if you something better.

Hi Matteo,

I understand that there is an error of

Error using nexttile
The layout does not have sufficient space.

in the above code.

This is happening because the code is trying plot 2 plots in 1x1 grid space as created in the function "plotDoppioAsseX2".

To fix this error, use 'gca' to use the current axis, please refer to the following code snippet of updated "plotDoppioAsseX2" function:

% Revised plotDoppioAsseX2 Function
function plotDoppioAsseX2(compAsseX1, compAsseY1, labelX1, labelY1, compAsseX2, compAsseY2, labelX2, labelY2)
    ax1 = gca; % get current axis
    plot(ax1,compAsseX1,compAsseY1,'-r')
    xlabel(labelX1)
    ylabel(labelY1)
    ax1.XColor = 'r';
    ax1.YColor = 'r';

    % Create the second set of axes in the same position
    ax2 = axes('Position', ax1.Position, 'Color', 'none');
    plot(ax2,compAsseX2,compAsseY2,'-k')
    title(strcat(labelX1,' e ',labelX2,' vs. ',labelY2))
    grid on
    xlabel(labelX2)
    ylabel(labelY2)
    ax2.XAxisLocation = 'top';
    ax2.YAxisLocation="right";
    ax1.Box = 'off';
    ax2.Box = 'off';
end

Please refer to the following documentation for more information on 'gca' function:
