Align subplots non-manually

I have a figure with 5 subplots. Aside from doing it manually, is there are a way to set a 2x3 subplot figure in a way that the first row has 2 subplots and the second row has 3 subplots?

subplot(2,3,1) subplot(2,3,2)

subplot(2,3,3) subplot(2,3,4) subplot(2,3,5)

In way that sub1 and sub2 are centered (so sub1 position should be between sub3 and sub4)

Thanks

Create a 2 row and 6 column grid of locations for subplots. In the first row, each subplot will span 3 of the columns; in the second row, each will span 2. See example "Subplots with Different Sizes" in the documentation for subplot for a simple example of this general technique.

Thanks, but how do I keep the same size for all subplots? Using [] in the subplot changes the horizontal length of the subplots depending on the row

[Steven Lord]

Use the same 2 row and 6 column grid, but in the top row have the subplots cover positions 2-3 and 4-5 while in the bottom row they cover 7-8, 9-10, and 11-12. This will leave a space half the size of the axes on either side of the top row.
