How to display a plot in two figures

Hi,

I have a graph done using contourf and I want to realize another figure in the same subplot, identical to the first one, where to add some more details. Now, the script is already pretty stuffed so I don't want to re-run the contourf function, also because I have to do it more than one time, so my question is if it is possible to use the "informations" that contourf found in order to display them in two separate figures.

Thank you all!

Hi, I have the same "problem". Did you find a way? I think I need exactly what you needed - I manage to get a plot (in a loop, with pathes) and now I want to display it in a suplot from different angles. I can save it separately, but I want it all in one. Michala

Hi, unluckily I don't. I used contourf again and uncommented this one only when I needed to. Actually it is strange that there isn't the possibility to do something easy like this

I am not sure if i understand the question correctly. Do you want multiple figures in 1 subplot or 1 plot in multiple figures?

If you just want to display the contourf result in 2 subplots/figures you can copy them (might need to fix xlim/ylim).

A=peaks;
subplot(3,1,1);
[~,a]=contourf(A);
b=subplot(3,1,2);
copyobj(a,b)

xlim([1 49])
ylim([1 49])

Hi, have you looked at the contour slice command?

Hi,

Sorry I wrote wrong the function I used: it is contourf and not contour.

Anyway, yes I know that function, but does it allow you to plot two identical graphs in two separate figures without having to rerun it?
