Is it possible to merge to graphs in one figure from two m files?

I have a code implementing shooting method to solve 4 ODEs

I have saved in two different files, one is by using solver 'bvp4c' and the other is by solver 'ode45'

Now is it possible to merge the two graphs in one figure each from these two m files

Yes, it is possible and there are many ways of doing it depending on the type of graphics object you have in the figure. Here is a sketch in which a line is copied from one axes to another using copyobj()

f1 = figure;
ax1 = axes(f1);
s1 = scatter(rand(1,100), rand(1,100));

f2 = figure;
ax2 = axes(f2);
l2 = plot(0:0.1:1, (0:0.1:1).^2);

copyobj(l2, ax1)

This will give you a general idea. To get a more concrete example, please share the type of graphic objects you have.

I have attached two different .m files, now running both these programs will generate separate figures each.

One is a bvp4c program

The other is a ode45 based shooting method

So how would I merge these two figures into one figure, to show for instance that both the results are matching.

[Ameer Hamza]

You can do it like this

f1 = figure;
proj
f2 = figure;
shooting_method

copyobj(f2.Children.Children, f1.Children)

You can see that figure 1 have 2 lines by looking at plot browser.

Yes, it did. Thanks a lot.

[Ameer Hamza]

You are welcome.

Could you show me to merge figures from three m files in a similar procedure as you showed in the above if it is possible.

[Ameer Hamza]

The 2nd and 3rd files seem the same. However the method to merge three plots is as follow

f1 = figure;
proj;

f2 = figure;
shooting_method;

f3 = figure;
plot(0:0.1:1);

copyobj([f2.Children.Children f3.Children.Children], f1.Children)
