Algorithm (Workflow)

This function, subfig, is designed to create subfigures on the screen similar to the subplot function in MATLAB. It is part of the SolidGeometry library and was introduced in version 4.2.

Input Parameters

Algorithm Steps

  1. Initialize a variable delta with a value of 50. This is used to adjust the screen size and figure size.
  2. Check the number of input arguments. If one argument is provided, assign it to p. Otherwise, set p to 1.
  3. Retrieve the screen size using get(get(gcf,'Parent'),'ScreenSize') and adjust the width by subtracting delta.
  4. Get the current figure's position and outer position using get(gcf,'Position') and get(gcf,'OuterPosition'), then adjust the height by subtracting delta.
  5. Calculate the number of columns c and rows r that can fit on the screen by dividing the screen width and height by the figure's width and height, respectively.
  6. Determine the maximum number of figures nmax that can fit on the screen as the product of r and c.
  7. Use the mod1 function to adjust p within the range of nmax.
  8. Calculate the horizontal and vertical spacing dx and dy between figures.
  9. Determine the column x and row y for the figure based on p.
  10. Calculate the new position [sx, sy] for the figure on the screen.
  11. Move the current figure to the calculated position using movegui(gcf,[sx sy]).
  12. Pause briefly and then call show to update the display.
