MATLAB: Common Y label for multiple subplots in MATLAB!!!

subplot

Can anyone please help, how to put common y label for multiple subplots in MATLAB figures?

Best Answer

figure;
h1=subplot(2,1,1);
h2=subplot(2,1,2);
p1=get(h1,'position');
p2=get(h2,'position');
height=p1(2)+p1(4)-p2(2);
h3=axes('position',[p2(1) p2(2) p2(3) height],'visible','off');
h_label=ylabel('test','visible','on');

MATLAB: Common X label for 2×2 subplots without using for loop

Here is how you can set a single centered x- and y-label on a 2x2 plot.

h1=subplot(2,2,1);
h2=subplot(2,2,2);
h3=subplot(2,2,3);
h4=subplot(2,2,4);
p1=get(h1,'position');
p2=get(h2,'position');
p3=get(h3,'position');
p4=get(h4,'position');
height=p1(2)+p1(4)-p4(2);
width=p4(1)+p4(3)-p3(1);
h5=axes('position',[p3(1) p3(2) width height],'visible','off'); 
h5.XLabel.Visible='on'
h5.YLabel.Visible='on'
axes(h5)
ylabel('test')
xlabel('test')

...and as a bonus, here is how you can set the same xlabel on all plots, without a for loop

h1=subplot(1,2,1)
h2=subplot(1,2,2)
h=findobj(gcf,'type','axes')
set([h.XLabel],'string','XLabel')

MATLAB: One common Y-axis label for two or more plots

I would propose you to get the Handle of the subplots and then work with that.

Sample code

FigH     = figure;
SP1H = subplot(2,1,1);
SP2H = subplot(2,1,2);
YLabel1H = get(SP1H,'YLabel');
set(YLabel1H,'String','YLabelThatIWant');
set(YLabel1H,'Position',[-0.0542 0 0]);
Title1H = get(SP1H,'Title');
set(Title1H,'String','TheTitleThatIWant');
