a class to handles figures equaly sized axes with the following features

  • nicely resize axes
  • global or individual colorbars *

Description

The calculation of the layout is initiated by the command drawNow. This involves calls to the following functions:

drawNow
  |  |
  V  |
calcTightInset -> compute width of boundary around each axis
     |
     V
updateLayout
     |
     V
calcPartition -> compute partition (nrows, ncols)
     |
     V
calcAxesSize  -> compute axes size

A mtexFigure may have the following children

  • mapPlot -> micronbar
  • sphericalPlot (stored in appdata of axes handle)
  • pfPlot [CS,SS,h]
  • ipdfPlot [CS]
  • MillerPlot [r,SS]

Syntax

Class Properties

parent handle of the parent figure
children handles to all axes
cBarAxis handles to all colorbar axes
cBarSide side the colorbar is placed at
legendAxis handle of a legend placed outside the axes
legendSide side the legend is placed at
legendSpacing spacing between the axes and the legend
innerPlotSpacing
keepAspectRatio
nrows = 1 number of rows
ncols = 1 number of columns
axisWidth width of an individual axis
axisHeight height of an individual axis
fixedAxisHeight height every axis is forced to, [] to derive it from figSize
