Unable to change the height of the barh.

I have a tiled layout wherein, of the tiles is like this.

The code looks like this:

y=[67 147-67 1073-147 3456-1073 5000-3456];
def=[1];
nexttile
d1=barh(def,y,3,'stacked');
axis ([0 5000 0 2]);
xlabel('Defect Size [Ohm]');
title('Defect 1 @ 100C');
set(gca,'ytick',[],'FontSize',30);

I am trying to reduce the height of the figure, but the position 'Position' is not working. Could you suggest any other way to do it.

Thank you

The tiledlayout plots will not let you do that, however subplot will.

Try this —

figure
y=[67 147-67 1073-147 3456-1073 5000-3456];
def=[1];
subplot(1,1,1)
d1=barh(def,y,3,'stacked');
axis ([0 5000 0 2]);
xlabel('Defect Size [Ohm]');
title('Defect 1 @ 100C');
set(gca,'ytick',[],'FontSize',30);

figure
y=[67 147-67 1073-147 3456-1073 5000-3456];
def=[1];
subplot(1,1,1)
d1=barh(def,y,3,'stacked');
axis ([0 5000 0 2]);
xlabel('Defect Size [Ohm]');
title('Defect 1 @ 100C');
set(gca,'ytick',[],'FontSize',30);
pos = get(gca, 'Position');
set(gca,'Position',pos.*[1 1.25 1 0.25])

Experiment to get the result you want.

Thank you very much.

I was using subplot previously and then switched to the tiled layout because the former does not give an option for a global legend.

Is there some workaround? Can I still use tiled layout, because its legending is much simpler and elegant.

You can use global legends with subplot similarly to the way you would create it in tiledlayout.

Try something like this —

x = 0:0.5:10;
y1 = randn(size(x,2),2);
y2 = randn(size(x,2),2);
y3 = randn(size(x,2),2);

figure
subplot(2,2,1)
plot(x,y1)
grid
hl = legend('y_1','y_2');                           % Create Legend, Return Handle
subplot(2,2,2)
plot(x,y2)
grid
subplot(2,2,3)
plot(x,y3)
grid
subplot(2,2,4)
Ax = gca;
Ax.Visible = 0;                                     % Make Axes Invisible
hl.Position = Ax.Position;                          % Use These Position Values For 'legend'
