Plotting graphs with changing values for variables

So I'm trying to plot 4 different graphs. Each graph will have 2 plots. However, is there a way for me to change the value of the variable down the line? For example, for #4 graph, I only want to change Ma to linspace and not use the original Ma=0.92 value that was inputted in the very beginning of my code. I've attached my code below. Not sure what I'm doing wrong but I'm sure I may be missing some commands. Thank you for the help.

You can include your calculation in a function and then pass Ma as constant and vector values

Hi Marie,

I understand you are trying to plot multiple graphs and want to change the value of the variables down the line.

For that you can use function which plots the graph according to the variables being passed

For example :

% sample data
Ma=0.92; 
TSFCaa=linspace(5,20);
% changing Ma
Ma = linspace(0, 5); 
% calling the function plotFn
plotFn(Ma, TSFCaa,'TSFC_a vs. Ma','Ma','TSFC_a_a') 

function plotFn(X,Y,title1,xlabel1,ylabel1) 
  plot (X,Y,'k') 
  title(title1); 
  xlabel(xlabel1); 
  ylabel(ylabel1); 
end

If you want to plot 2 graphs in same figure you can use ‘subplot’ or ‘tiledlayout’

Please refer to the following MathWorks documentation links to know more about them.

‘subplot’ - https://in.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/subplot.html

‘tiledlayout’- https://in.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/tiledlayout.html

Hope it helps.
