Snap to Grid -- Aligning Objects on a Grid

Figures have a layout grid that can aid the hand layout of objects displayed in the figure. You can also enable a snap-to-grid feature that forces objects to align with the grid increments when moved.

To display the grid on the figure background, select View Layout Grid from the Tools menu.

To force objects to align with the grid, select Snap To Layout Grid from the Tools menu.

To move objects in the figure, enable Plot Edit mode by selecting Edit Plot from the Tools menu. Click to select an object and then drag it to the desired location.

The following picture illustrates a figure with four subplots. You can select any of the four axes and move them. Note that all axis labels and the title move with the axes. Annotation objects move independently of the plot axes.
