Hello,
I am working on a mood detection algorithm (from music) and I am currently stuck at the GUI.
I need to plot something similar to Thayer's arousal-valence emotion plane (four quadrants), here's what it looks like: Thayer
Now, it's not really technical, it's more about formatting the plot so it looks like that. I've tried everything I can but couldn't get to that result.
Basically what I need to do is this: if my function returns 1, a point would be plotted on the yellow panel (scatter plot maybe?), if answer is 2 - green, 3 - blue, 4 - red.
Is it possible? If it is, any idea of how I can do this?
Thank you in advance!
M.

I've already tried it that way and while it is efficient indeed it doesn't look too good.
I'll keep trying with subplots but if anyone's got any other ideas, feel free to share them.

You can use the quadrants of a classic plot: x>0,y>0 for yellow; x<0,y>0 for red and so on. In this way it's just one plot. And if you want to color the background, you can use the patch command.

There are several options of the file exchange to alter the spacing/margins/etc. of subplots (e.g. subaxis). Though for just 4 plots just using axes with the 'position' option should suffice:
l = [0.1 0.5; 0.1 0.5];
b = [0.5 0.5; 0.1 0.1];
c = {'r', 'y'; 'b', 'g'};
for ii = 1:4
ax(ii) = axes('position', [l(ii) b(ii) 0.4 0.4], 'color', c{ii});
end

If you have multiple subplots, you need to do some tricky stuff to get them close together. Why not just create an image and display that in a single axes control? Then put annotation over it with plot(), annotation(), text(), etc..

That's not what I was thinking, but that might work too. Just use patch() or fill() to put up a colored rectangle.

Yup, did it! Thank you!

It looks exactly as I wanted except for a small problem, the borders (or the black lines, they might be axes). Here's what it looks like: Screenshot
Is there a way to hide them? I've tried set(gca,'Visible','off') but it hides the whole thing, axis off does exactly the same thing.
Thank you in advance!

Assuming this comment applied to my solution, you can set the xcolor and ycolor properties to match your figure background. I'm assuming for now you're not interested in tick labels; if you need those it might require a bit more fiddling.
set(gcf, 'color', 'w');
set(ax, 'xcolor', 'w', 'ycolor', 'w', 'xtick', [], 'ytick', [])

@Image Analyst, Kelly's, sorry for the confusion.
@Kelly, thank you, it worked!
