Answer 1

The third parameter of tight_subplot defines the gaps between axis objects. For the built-in subplot command, the third parameter defines which axis is set as the CurrentAxes of the Figure. This option is not available in tight_subplot because I personally did not find it useful. Typically, I use the returned axes handles to specify where to add graphics.

Existing axes objects are repositioned when you add a colorbar.

I have added a second output argument to tight_subplot which provides the output position of the axes so that you can "reset" the axes positions after adding a colorbar.

[hax, position] = tight_subplot();

% Add a colorbar which alters the positions
colorbar();

% Now reset the positions back to where they were
set(hax, {'Position'}, pos);
