MATLAB: Stacking .figs

Question

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:

enter image description here

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

Are you generating those figures, or do you have them saved in files? — Eitan T, Mar 05 '13 at 12:24

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')

Yes, `hold on` will help plotting all the graphs in the same axes. `subplot` is used to _tile_ the graphs. – Hugues Fontenelle Mar 05 '13 at 12:30
Oh! I see now, the posted snippet worked for me. I'm gonna try Hold On as well though – Erasmus Mar 05 '13 at 12:34

You do not need to re-plot the data; you can copy the graphs using `copyobj()`. – H.Muster Mar 05 '13 at 12:34
