How to create several figures in a subplot with different axes

Dear all,

I'm trying to create a subplot with 7lines and 1 column that plot all of my results consecutivelly.

I have this piece of code:

subplot(7,1,k);
    ax1=axes;
    imagesc(ax1,Xv,Yv,M);
    set(gca,'YDir','normal');
    h=colorbar;
    ylabel(h,'TOTAL Sound Pressure Level (dB)');
    clear title
    title(strcat('SPL Broadband\_', listofpercentis(k)));
    xlabel('LONGITUDE');
    ylabel('LATITUDE');
    axis tight;
    clear title
    ax2=axes;
    contourf(ax2,lon_km,lat_km,elevation', [0 0]);
    linkaxes([ax1,ax2]);
    ax2.Visible = 'off';
    ax2.XTick = [];
    ax2.YTick = [];
    set([ax1,ax2],'Position',[.17 .11 .685 .815]);
    ax2.Visible = 'on';
    ax2.Visible = 'off';
    cb1 = colorbar(ax1,'Position',[.865 .112 .04 .815]);
    ylabel(cb1, 'SPL (dB)','FontSize',12);
    %AUTOMATIC WAY
    % xlim([ax1,ax2],[xmin xmax]);
    % ylim([ax1,ax2],[ymin ymax]);
    axes(ax1); axis equal;
    axes(ax2); axis equal;
    hold on;
    %plot(km2deg(Sx),km2deg(Sy), '*k')
    %plot(-9,37.96, 'Ok');
    %source=text(deg2km(-8.99),deg2km(37.94),'source','FontSize',12)
    portugal=text(deg2km(-8.65),deg2km(37.86),'Portugal','FontSize',20);
    set(portugal,'Rotation',90);
    sines=text(deg2km(-8.869),deg2km(37.96),'*Sines','FontSize',14);
    caxis(ax1,[0 200]);

The problem is that all plots are displayed in the same position and I want to display the first plot in the first line, the second plot in the second line, etc etc.

Thanks in advance,

You're aren't using subplot correctly. For each plot you need a separate call to subplot with the index (in your case, row) where you want the plot to appear:

subplot(7,1,1);
plot ... % something in the 1st row
subplot(7,1,2);
plot ... % something in the 2nd row
subplot(7,1,3);
plot ... % something in the 3rd row
...

Type doc subplot in the MATLAB's command window for more explanation and examples

I overcame this by doing the following code:

ax1=axes;
    subplot(7,1,k,ax1);
    imagesc(ax1,Xv,Yv,M);
    set(gca,'YDir','normal');

    clear title
    title(strcat('SPL Broadband\_', listofpercentis(k)));
    xlabel('LONGITUDE');
    ylabel('LATITUDE');
    axis tight;
    clear title
    ax2=axes;
    subplot(7,1,k,ax2);
    contourf(ax2,lon_km,lat_km,elevation', [0 0]);
    linkaxes([ax1,ax2]);
    ax2.Visible = 'off';
    ax2.XTick = [];
    ax2.YTick = [];
    set([ax1,ax2],'Position',[.17 .11 .685 .815]);
    ax2.Visible = 'on';
    ax2.Visible = 'off';
    %AUTOMATIC WAY
    % xlim([ax1,ax2],[xmin xmax]);
    % ylim([ax1,ax2],[ymin ymax]);
    axes(ax1); axis equal;
    axes(ax2); axis equal;
    hold on;
    %plot(km2deg(Sx),km2deg(Sy), '*k')
    %plot(-9,37.96, 'Ok');
    %source=text(deg2km(-8.99),deg2km(37.94),'source','FontSize',12)
    portugal=text(deg2km(-8.65),deg2km(37.86),'Portugal','FontSize',20);
    set(portugal,'Rotation',90);
    sines=text(deg2km(-8.869),deg2km(37.96),'*Sines','FontSize',14);
    caxis(ax1,[0 200]);
    hold off
end

the thing is, now the land part of the figure is not in the correct position (see the figure)
