Specifying properties of a subplot

Hello,

I am trying to create a pdf figure in landscape view using Matlab. The figure is a 2X2 subplot that includes four different time series (I'm calling them North_cold, North_warm, South_cold, and South_warm). The time series need to be the same size and they need to be aligned with one another. Ideally, each subplot would be 2.5 inches tall and 4 inches wide, with a 1/4 inch space between them. Each time series will also have a title. I will have to align the figure in the middle of the page when it prints.

Any suggestions for how I can accomplish this would be greatly appreciated.

t=0:.1:10;
y=sin(t);
figure(1)
sp_v=1; % vertical space
sp_h=0.25; % horizontal space
w=4;   % width
h=2.5; % height
marg=1; % margines
set(gcf,'units','inches','position',[0.5,0.5,w*2+sp_h+2*marg,h*2+sp_v+2*marg])
v=[marg marg+h+sp_v  w h;w+marg+sp_h  marg+h+sp_v   w h;marg marg w h;w+marg+sp_h marg w h]
for k=1:4
  subplot(2,2,k),
  plot(t,y)
  title(sprintf('title%d',k));
  xlabel('x')
  ylabel('y')
  set(gca,'units','inches')
  set(gca,'position',v(k,:))
end

Hi and thank you very much for your answer. I am using code to generate four different time series, so I could get your code to work by copying and pasting it below the code for each time series and then changing "for k=1:4" to "for k=1","for k=2", and so on.

Now that I have plotted all four time series in one figure, I now need to rotate the entire figure 90 degrees before saving it as a pdf using the command saveas(AllFour,'AllFour.pdf'). Do you know how to do this?

Okay, thank you anyways :)
