MATLAB: Subplots limit

limitssubplots

Is there a limit to how many subplots you can have in a A4 sized landscape pdf?

When I save my plots as pdf it only seems to keep 5 subplots in one page, whereas in the actual figure file all 6 are visible

In this example the last plot is being left out:

I've tried changing the papermode to portrait but get the same problem

I changed the pdf size to A3 that included all the plots but now the positioning is all messed up

Is there any automated method of doing this?

Thanks

Were you using export_fig()?

If so, I'd contact Oliver and he'll probably tell you how to fix it.

If not, then I guess you'll find out why export_fig is the most downloaded File Exchange submission.
