Hi, I am writing a program that displays multiple plots in different figures where the user has to select what figure they want to look at. I am trying to have two of these show up split screen. How would I do this. I provided a snip of the code and the what I want t happen to the plots.show up split screen. How would I do this. I provided a snip of the code and the what I want t happen to the plots.

%larger figure on the right
figure;
subplot(2,2,1);
subplot(2,2,3);
subplot(2,2,[2 4]);
%larger figure on the left
figure;
subplot(2,2,2);
subplot(2,2,4);
subplot(2,2,[1 3]);

Consider this subplot:
figure;
subplot(2,2,1); title('plot 1');
subplot(2,2,2); title('plot 2');
subplot(2,2,3); title('plot 3');
subplot(2,2,4); title('plot 4');
It divides the Figure window into a 2x2 matrix of small axes.
When you concatenate the 1st and 3rd axes the Figure changes accordingly:
figure;
subplot(2,2,[1 3]); title('plot 1');
subplot(2,2,2); title('plot 2');
subplot(2,2,4); title('plot 4');
If you want to add more plots to your subplot, you need to increase the 'm' and/or 'n' value.
subplot(m,n,p)
%m = number of rows
%n = number of columns
%p = position of current plot
For instance, if you want to create a subplot of 6 plots total, you can do this by increasing the number of rows (m) or the number of columns (n).
%increase number of rows
figure;
subplot(3,2,1); title('plot 1');
subplot(3,2,2); title('plot 2');
subplot(3,2,3); title('plot 3');
subplot(3,2,4); title('plot 4');
subplot(3,2,5); title('plot 5');
subplot(3,2,6); title('plot 6');
%increase number of columns
figure;
subplot(2,3,1); title('plot 1');
subplot(2,3,2); title('plot 2');
subplot(2,3,3); title('plot 3');
subplot(2,3,4); title('plot 4');
subplot(2,3,5); title('plot 5');
subplot(2,3,6); title('plot 6');
You can also concatenate the matrix axes to suit your needs; example:
figure;
subplot(2,3,1); title('plot 1');
subplot(2,3,[2 5]); title('plot 2'); %concatentate 2nd and 5th axes
subplot(2,3,[3 6]); title('plot 3'); %concatentate 3rd and 6th axes
subplot(2,3,4); title('plot 4');
