How to combine two plots into one with separate markers

Currently I have two figures

Is there a function that will allow me to combine the two figures into one, though with different marker options. For example combined plot labeled FA would have the data from table1.fig in "o" and the data from table 2.fig in 'x`

Later I think I would have say N number of figures. Is there a way to combine these N number of figures such that each figure would have a different marker using a script?

Thanks in advance

Jimmy, as a very efficient approach (if you only need to do it once) I recommend a simple copy-paste:

1. Open both figures
2. Select "Show Plot Tools and Dock Figure" in both figures (see figure below)
3. Select one of the plot lines and copy [CTRL+C]
4. Paste [CTRL+V] in the other plot
5. Change the line properties to your liking

Of course, you could use the programmatic approach, e.g., say you have to figures, one line plot each:

 fh1 = open('f1.fig');
 fh2 = open('f2.fig');
 ax1 = get(fh1, 'Children');
 ax2 = get(fh2, 'Children');
 ax2p = get(ax2(1),'Children');
 copyobj(ax2p, ax1(1));

For n figures you would simply use a for-loop to copy all objects.

how would i go about setting them to separate markers automatically?, sorry a bit new to matlab so I'm not quite sure how to do that and write a for loop

easy and quick, thanks

[anurag rai]

thanks, its very easy and helpful .

[Sean]

how does the for loop works?

[Joel Fernandez]

thank you! it works for 2 .fig files

could you please show us how it should be for 3 .fig files? ... then I will do the for-loop for n figures by myself (promise)

Could you explain for four figures?

[Pritesh gamit]

Thank you sir. It helped me a lot. now i can see both figure in only one window.

Thanks for the solution, however, I don't know why it is not working on two figures of mine (attached here). I appreciate it if anybody can tell me what am I missing that the merging doesn't happen!

Solution seems good. But dont know, when i am going to do it. its not being copy and paste. Instead its pasting its own line of Figure.

Thanks, Mischa, and sorry to re-open the issue, but . . . what's happen with the legends (if they exists?). The one associated to ax2 is not shown !! (In both cases: either the copy-paste method or the programmatic one).
