How to reduce the borders around subplots in matlab?

Question

In matlab, an inordinate amount of space is wasted around subplots. For example, in this example:

t = 0:0.001:2*pi+0.001;
figure(2);
for i = 1 : 25;
    subplot(5,5,i);
    plot(t, sin(i*t));
    axis off
end

over 50% of the space on the figure is wasted as "blank" I'd like to shrink that blank space down, but have been unsuccessful to identify a mechanism to do so. Thoughts?

Answer 1

The subaxis function on the File Exchange allows you to specify margins for subplots.

Example usage:

t = 0:0.001:2*pi+0.001;
figure(2);
for i = 1 : 25;
    subaxis(5,5,i, 'Spacing', 0.03, 'Padding', 0, 'Margin', 0);
    plot(t, sin(i*t));
    axis tight
    axis off
end
