Plot many horizontal Bar Plots in the same graph

Question

I need to plot a x-y function, that shows the histograms at x-values. Something similar to the bottom plot of the next figure:

Answer 1

Using 'Position' of axes property

% generate "data"
m = rand( 40,10 ); 
[n x] = hist( m, 50 );

% the actual plotting
figure; 
ma = axes('Position',[.1 .1 .8 .8] );  % "parent" axes
N = size(n,2);  % number of vertical bars
for ii=1:N, 
   % create an axes inside the parent axes for the ii-the barh
   sa = axes('Position', [0.1+(ii-1)*.8/N, 0.1, .8/N, .8]); % position the ii-th barh
   barh( x, n(:,ii), 'Parent', sa); 
   axis off;
end
