Then I calculated inside dimensions in centimeters and converted in normalized units. I only used one loop. Searching in helpfile took the most time, even after I understood what I had to do. All of you wrote with the purpose to help and make me understand, but I doubt the same can be said about those who wrote the helpfile. Maybe they could switch jobs to something they like to do and are skilled at. I am really "happy" for each minute I waisted with this.

Another trick that gives you more space is to remove the x-tick labels
from the top row (since they are the same as the bottom row), and the
y-tick labels for the 2nd and subsequent plots across.
set(gca,...
'XTickLabel','')

Here's an example:

Hi there, thank s for your reply. I cannot use this trick now, becasue that format of the plots is required from me, but I will remember this for the future. Thanks!
