GUI plotting to axes once a seperate figure is opened

I have a gui that has a pushbutton and an axes. The push button runs a function (seperate m file) that creates a figure and some subplots. When I then try to do something on axes1 on the original GUI, its not plotting. Im guessing, it cant find the handle to the component as I also have a figure open.

im calling the axes1 component via: handles.axes1

It is the only component called axes1, so I cant understand why I can't plot to this once I have already plotted to a seperate figure?

It would help if you post the actual plot instruction you are using for your axes1

Answer 1

[Robert Cumming]

are you specifying the axes in the plot command? If not Matlab will plot in the current active axes (gca).

Its advisable to specify the axes to plot in:

plot ( axesHandle, X, Y, .... );

So in your case:

plot ( handles.axes1, X, Y, .... );

Hi, no I wasn't. I have just tried but still nothing.
