Do you mean there would an axis within an axis, sort of like picture in picture on a television?

When you do subplot, each can be of a different size:

subplot(2,1,1);
subplot(2,2,3);
subplot(2,2,4);

If you use subplot and they overlay each other, as a feature the old one will be deleted. The axis command with position property does not though.

is it possible to create subplots within a subplot?
as an example, this is what i mean:

for i=1:25
    subplot(5,5,i)   %this would define the "big" plot

    subplot(2,1,1)  % this would be a subplot within the bigger subplot
    imagesc(x(i))
    subplot(2,1,2)
    imagesc(y(i))
end

each subplot-subplot would consists of two heat maps (image function). if that is not possible, is there a way to code an offset in an imagesc plot (i.e. rows separated from each other)?

thanks

You can reparent the axes that have the plots. The axes have a property, ‘parent’. set that property to the new figure and then change the position to whatever you want.

There’s no “timeout” capability for the ODE solvers. However, it sounds like the stiffness of your ODEs may depend on the parameters. Cleve wrote a column on ODEs and stiffness here:

http://www.mathworks.com/company/newsletters/news_notes/clevescorner/may03_cleve.html

You should try switching your program to use a stiffer solver to try to reduce the amount of time it takes to solve the ODE when it’s stiff. There’s a table in the function reference page for the ODE solvers that describes which solvers are stiff solvers and which aren’t.

If you’re currently using ODE45, try ODE15S or ODE23S.

I have a problem in Matlab, and I hope you can help me with it. I am solving a Differential Equation in Matlab using Matlab’s own functions, for different values of some parameters. For some values of the parameter, it takes too long and I stop the program by a Ctrl-C manually, and then change the parameter.
Is there a way to automate this? i.e., the program should itself figure out that it took more than say some specific amount of time and so it should move to the next parameter.
I hope you got the question.
Your comments would be greatly appreciated !
Thanks in advance.

I am not sure what you are talking about. It is much better for us to be able to help if you can show the shortest code snippet that will reproduce the behavior.

Thanks,

The question is: how do you solve this problem?

I’ve shortened the titles as much as possible, but to no avail?

Suggestions?

The property section of the subplots is not thorough in the documentation and I note that the relative order of property statements can also produce bilwildering results.

Looks like an area that needs some work or at least more documentation to allow workers to work around such problems.

Thank you.

I am not sure I understand your question. Please contact support for help.
