Different Scales on same plot

1 view (last 30 days)
Attached is the image of a plot I'm willing to generate.
How to show different X Y-axis scales locally to a same plot as shown in figure.
Thank you in advance.

May be give this a try:
z=1:2:100;
y=log(z); % Dummy log profile
h=figure(1);
h.Color=[1 1 1];
subplot(1,5,1)
p1=plot(y,z,'k-o');hold on;
text(-0.5,-5,'0.125'); % This is displayed near the origin
ax1 = gca;box off;
ax1.Position=[0.1 0.2 0.1 0.5];
ax1.XTick=[];ax1.YTick=[]; % Dont label anything
subplot(1,5,2)
p2=plot(y.^0.7,z,'k-o');
hold on;
text(-0.5,-5,'0.250');
ax2 = gca;box off;
ax2.Position=[0.275 0.17 0.1 0.5];
ax2.XTick=[];ax2.YTick=[];
subplot(1,5,3)
p3=plot(-2+y.^1.7,z,'k-o');
hold on;
text(-0.5,-5,'0.375');
ax3 = gca;box off;
ax3.Position=[0.45 0.15 0.1 0.5];
ax3.XTick=[];ax3.YTick=[];
ax3.YAxisLocation='Origin'; %When the x values are -ve this would move the y-axis to x=0
subplot(1,5,4)
p4=plot(-1+y.^0.6,z,'k-o');
hold on;
text(-0.5,-5,'0.500');
ax4 = gca;box off;
ax4.Position=[0.65 0.1 0.1 0.5];
ax4.XTick=[];ax4.YTick=[];ax4.YAxisLocation='Origin';
subplot(1,5,5)
p5=plot(y(1:5),z(1:5),'w');
ax5 = gca;box off;
ax5.Position=[0.74 0.85 0.1 0.1];
xlabel('m/sec');ylabel('cm');
You would have to adjust the number of subplots and axis locations as per your requirement. Another way to control the location is to change the 'Position' property of the subplot itselft. That way you can have subplots without overlapping.
Hope this helps.
