MATLAB: Cut Off subplots in figure window

Question

Hi guys,

I want to plot some results form previous calculations in two subplots by meshes. Additionally i want to plot a colorbar which represents the magnitude of the values in z direction forboth of the plots. I got all of these subplots to work the way i want them to but apparently the right subplot is cut off.

below you see the code of an example and the printed .png-file i created of the same example

x = rand(10,10);
y = x;
z = x;
azleft = 90;
azright = 270;
elleft = 90;
elrright = -90;
topologie = figure;
links = subplot(1,2,1);
mesh(x,y,z)
view(azleft, elleft);
rechts = subplot(1,2,2);
rechts.YAxisLocation = 'right';
mesh(x,y,z)
view(azright, elrright);
  
posSubplot2 = get(rechts, 'Position'); 
posSubplot2(1) = posSubplot2(1) + 0.15; 
set(rechts, 'Position', posSubplot2);
posSubplot1 = get(links,'Position');
colorbar('Position', [posSubplot1(1)+posSubplot1(3)+0.075  posSubplot1(2)  0.05  posSubplot1(2)+posSubplot1(3)*2.1])

i also would prefer the y-axis of the ricght graph to be displayed on the right side of the graph.

Thanks for your help in advance!

Try this:

x = rand(10,10);
y = x;
z = x;
azleft = 0;
azright = 0;
elleft = 90;
elrright = 90;
topologie = figure;
links = subplot(1,2,1);
mesh(x,y,z)
view(azleft, elleft);
rechts = subplot(1,2,2);
mesh(x,y,z)
view(azright, elrright);
rechts.YAxisLocation = 'right'; % Change axis location after rotating
  
posSubplot2 = get(rechts, 'Position'); 
posSubplot2(3) = posSubplot2(3) - 0.05; % Reduce width instead of moving 
set(rechts, 'Position', posSubplot2);
posSubplot1 = get(links,'Position');
posSubplot1(3) = posSubplot1(3) - 0.05; 
set(links, 'Position', posSubplot1);
colorbar('Position', [posSubplot1(1)+posSubplot1(3)+0.05  posSubplot1(2)  0.05  posSubplot1(4)])

Code is pretty much the same but you need to understand how the elements of the Position vector works, hope this helps.
