MATLAB: How to show two figures of dynamic plots next to each other

Image Processing ToolboxMATLABtwo dynamic plots at the same time

Dear all,
I have two for-loops. Each loop generates a data which I am plotting (inside the loop) so as I can see the plot dynamically changing. Right now I process one plot which will open in one figure and once it is finished I close it and go to the next for-loop and see the second dynamic plot.
I want to be able to see these two dynamic plots at the same time. I tried to use subplot(2,1,1) in the first for-loop and subplot(2,2,1) in the second for-loop but things are not working well.
Is there someway to do it correctly?
Any help will be appreciated.

Use drawnow, pause, and specify the axis as in the following example
for i = 1:2
  subplot(1,2,1)
  axis([0 20 0 20])
  plot(i, i, '.')
  drawnow
  hold on
  subplot(1,2,2)
  axis([0 20 0 400])
  plot(i, i^2, 'o')
  drawnow
  hold on
  pause(0.1)
end
