MATLAB: Subplots within for loops

for loopplotssubplots

Hi all,
I can't seem to find a solution for this simple problem:
I have a for loop with an output of 8 plots. I would like to group them as they come out in 2 subplots of 4. How can I do this?

 figure() ;
 for plotId = 1 : 4
    subplot(2, 2, plotId) ;
    plot(x{plotId}, y{plotId}) ;
 end
 figure() ;
 for plotId = 1 : 4
    subplot(2, 2, plotId) ;
    plot(x{plotId+4}, y{plotId+4}) ;
 end
or in one loop, but it adds some complexity that may not be that useful:
 for plotId = 1 : 8
     if ~mod(plotId-1, 4)
        figure() ;
     end
     subplot(2, 2, mod(plotId-1, 4)+1) ;
     plot(x{plotId}, y{plotId}) ;
 end
Finally, if you wanted to define your own axes to avoid all the space left by SUBPLOT and fit your 8 plots in one figure, you could do it as illustrated in my answer here:
