MATLAB: How to plot multiple figures in the same figure in matlab?

How to plot multiple figures in the same figure in matlab?? I have to plot overlapping triangular windows in the same graph. Could anyone help me??. I need this for my project.

plot(x1, y1);
hold on
plot(x2, y2);
plot(x3, y3);

If you need multiple axes that overlap, do not use subplot() as subplot() automatically erases any axes that the new axes would overlap.

ax1 = axes('Position', [10 10 50 50]);
plot(ax1, x1, y1);
ax2 = axes('Position', [20 20 50 50]);
plot(ax2, x2, y2);
ax3 = axes('Position', [30 10 50 50]);
plot(ax3, x3, y3);

MATLAB: How to put stacked plots in the same graph

Alan,

To plot the data all in the same plot, do something like the following.

x1 = 0:.01:1;
y1 = x1.^2;
x2 = .5:.1:1;
y2 = -1*x2 + 10;
fHand1 = figure;
aHand1 = axes('parent', fHand1);
hold(aHand1, 'on')
plot(x1, y1, 'parent', aHand1);
plot(x2, y2, 'parent', aHand1);

To make the plots scale independent - so the min of the plot is at the bottom and the max is at the top - you need to normalize the y values before plotting. In this case, it helps to remove the y axis labels to avoid confusion. Here is how I did it.

y1 = (y1 - min(y1)) / (max(y1) - min(y1));
y2 = (y2 - min(y2)) / (max(y2) - min(y2));
fHand2 = figure;
aHand2 = axes('parent', fHand2);
hold(aHand2, 'on')
plot(x1, y1, 'parent', aHand2);
plot(x2, y2, 'parent', aHand2);
set(aHand2, 'YTickLabel', [])

Let me know if this solves your problem.

MATLAB: Plot with Multiple x-Axes and y-Axes using the fill function

It seems Matlab is resetting ax2 settings to default after the fill command.

add this line after the fill command to set them again.

set(ax2,'XAxisLocation','top',...
    'YAxisLocation','right',...
    'Color','none');
