Problems doing subplot command while using mmpolar function

Hi,

I have a problem. I want to do a serie of subplots using mmpolar function. It seems that what I get is only one mmpolar plot in the center, even though I see the subplot divisions.

This is what I get :

What I want is 3 mmpolar plots in each of the axes shown in the background. Thank you for your help.

Here is the part of my code where I initialize my plots and stuff :

[Xeve,Yeve]=meshgrid((yDeb:res:yFin),(xDeb:res:xFin));

%On converti les axes en polaire [r,th]=meshgrid(linspace(0,100,200),linspace(0,2*pi,360)); xp=r.*cos(th); yp=r.*sin(th); zp1=interp2(Xeve,Yeve,PerrE1,xp,yp);

[thptB,rptB]=cart2pol(yB,xB); [thptA,rptA]=cart2pol(yA,xA); [thptC,rptC]=cart2pol(yC,xC);

%on plot en polaire

subplot(3,1,1)

ax1=axes('visible','off'); pcolor(xp,yp,zp1); shading flat; colorbar; axis equal ax2 = axes('position', get(ax1, 'position'));

%Traçons les coordonnees dans le plan polaire

hp=mmpolar(thptB,rptB,thptA,rptA,thptC,rptC,'Rlimit',[0,100],'backgroundcolor','none'); set(ax1, 'visible', 'off'); set(hp,'linestyle','none'); set(hp,'markersize',10); set(hp,{'color'},{'c';'y';'g'}) set(hp, {'markeredgecolor', 'marker'}, {'c' 'o'; 'y' '^';'g' 's'}); set(hp,{'markerfacecolor'},{'c';'y'; 'g'}) legend('Bob','Alice','Charlie') title('Distribution polaire')

subplot(3,1,2)

zp2=interp2(Xeve,Yeve,PerrE2,xp,yp);

ax1=axes('visible','off'); pcolor(xp,yp,zp2); shading flat; colorbar; axis equal ax2 = axes('position', get(ax1, 'position'));

hp=mmpolar(thptB,rptB,thptA,rptA,thptC,rptC,'Rlimit',[0,100],'backgroundcolor','none'); set(ax1, 'visible', 'off'); set(hp,'linestyle','none'); set(hp,'markersize',10); set(hp,{'color'},{'c';'y';'g'}) set(hp, {'markeredgecolor', 'marker'}, {'c' 'o'; 'y' '^';'g' 's'}); set(hp,{'markerfacecolor'},{'c';'y'; 'g'}) legend('Bob','Alice','Charlie') title('Distribution polaire')

subplot(3,1,3)

zp3=interp2(Xeve,Yeve,PerrE3,xp,yp);

ax1=axes('visible','off'); pcolor(xp,yp,zp3); shading flat; colorbar; axis equal ax2 = axes('position', get(ax1, 'position'));

hp=mmpolar(thptB,rptB,thptA,rptA,thptC,rptC,'Rlimit',[0,100],'backgroundcolor','none'); set(ax1, 'visible', 'off'); set(hp,'linestyle','none'); set(hp,'markersize',10); set(hp,{'color'},{'c';'y';'g'}) set(hp, {'markeredgecolor', 'marker'}, {'c' 'o'; 'y' '^';'g' 's'}); set(hp,{'markerfacecolor'},{'c';'y'; 'g'}) legend('Bob','Alice','Charlie') title('Distribution polaire')

The axes command creates a new axis, and if you don't specify a position, it assumes the default position in the center of the figure. So each time you issue these commands:

 subplot(3,1,1)

 ax1=axes('visible','off'); pcolor(xp,yp,zp1); % etc ...

you create a subplot, then create a new (invisible) full-figure, centered axis. The centered axis, being the most recently created, is set as the current axis for all subsequent plotting commands.

What you want instead is:

 ax1 = subplot(3,1,1)

 set(ax1, 'visible','off'); pcolor(xp,yp,zp1); % etc ...

Thank you very much! It seems that coffee dosen't work this morning because when I read your answer, I remembered that you gave me the same method few weeks ago. Anyway, now it pops me what I want.
