How to label axis appropriately in subplot

Hi Guys,

I would like to just label the x axis in the lower row of subplots and delete the x labels in upper rows!

How can I do that?

Here is my code:

ha = tight_subplot(3,5,[.03 .0],[.1 .1],[.1 .1]);

for ii = 1:15

axes(ha(ii))

plot(randn(10,ii));

xlabel('Levels')

grid on

xlim([-1 11])

end

sgtitle('Plots')

% Just commend the axes i want:

set(ha(1:10),'XTickLabel','');

set(ha([2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15]),'YTickLabel','')

Code for Function tight_subplot:

function [ha, pos] = tight_subplot(Nh, Nw, gap, marg_h, marg_w)

% tight_subplot creates "subplot" axes with adjustable gaps and margins

%

% [ha, pos] = tight_subplot(Nh, Nw, gap, marg_h, marg_w)

%

% in: Nh number of axes in hight (vertical direction)

% Nw number of axes in width (horizontaldirection)

% gap gaps between the axes in normalized units (0...1)

% or [gap_h gap_w] for different gaps in height and width

% marg_h margins in height in normalized units (0...1)

% or [lower upper] for different lower and upper margins

% marg_w margins in width in normalized units (0...1)

% or [left right] for different left and right margins

%

% out: ha array of handles of the axes objects

% starting from upper left corner, going row-wise as in

% subplot

% pos positions of the axes objects

%

% Example: ha = tight_subplot(3,2,[.01 .03],[.1 .01],[.01 .01])

% for ii = 1:6; axes(ha(ii)); plot(randn(10,ii)); end

% set(ha(1:4),'XTickLabel',''); set(ha,'YTickLabel','')

end

if numel(marg_w)==1;

marg_w = [marg_w marg_w];

end

if numel(marg_h)==1;

marg_h = [marg_h marg_h];

end

axh = (1-sum(marg_h)-(Nh-1)*gap(1))/Nh;

axw = (1-sum(marg_w)-(Nw-1)*gap(2))/Nw;

py = 1-marg_h(2)-axh;

% ha = zeros(Nh*Nw,1);

ii = 0;

for ih = 1:Nh

px = marg_w(1);

for ix = 1:Nw

ii = ii+1;

ha(ii) = axes('Units','normalized', ...

'Position',[px py axw axh], ...

'XTickLabel','', ...

'YTickLabel','');

px = px+axw+gap(2);

end

py = py-axh-gap(1);

end

if nargout > 1

pos = get(ha,'Position');

end

ha = ha(:);

Just tell it to output x-label when the number of subplot > 10

x=1:8;
 for k = 1:15
    data = rand(1,8);
    subplot(3,5,k)
    plot(x,data)
    if k >10
        xlabel('X-label')
    end
 end
