How to shrink each figure inside a subplot ?

Hello Friends,

Suppose I have the following example:

   figure
   for ii = 1:5
   subplot(1, 5, ii)
   plot(ii, sin(ii));
   end

This creates a figure containing 1x5 subfigures. Each of these subfigures has its own horizontal/vertical lengths which I want to shrink/increase.

Please advise!

You could achieve this by modifying the "Position" (or "OuterPosition") property for each of the five individual "axes".

For example to reduce the "Width" and "Height" for each of the five individual axes to 50%, please see the code snippet below:

    figure
    for ii = 1:5
    subplot(1, 5, ii)
    plot(ii, sin(ii));
    tmp=get(gca,'position');
    set(gca,'position',[tmp(1) tmp(2) 0.5*tmp(3) 0.5*tmp(4)])
    end

For more information on "axes properties", please refer to the following documentation page:

Thank you Vinod. It was precisely what I needed. Can you or someone else also help me with my other question I posted here, but no one is answering it:
