MATLAB: Stacking .figs

I'm currently working on a study about fuel consumption. I have multiple .fig files that shows the trend of fuel consumption in L/100 Km versus Time. I have multiple cases showing the behavior of the plot under different conditions, and I wan't to show the differences between them. An example of the plot is shown below:

Is there anyway to stack plots from different .fig files in 1 .fig file?

Solution

  • Ideally, you'd want to generate those different plots using subplot.

    Your exact question has been answered by ZiV in the mathworks forums:

    One way to do this is to extract xdata and ydata from existing figures, then re-plot these data in a new figure window as desired. For example,

    open('gugu.fig');
h_gugu=get(gca,'Children');
x_gugu=get(h_gugu,'XData');
y_gugu=get(h_gugu,'YData');

open('lulu.fig');
h_lulu=get(gca,'Children');
x_lulu=get(h_lulu,'XData');
y_lulu=get(h_lulu,'YData');

figure
subplot(121)
plot(x_gugu,y_gugu);
subplot(122)
plot(x_lulu,y_lulu)
saveas(gcf,'gugululu','fig')
