How to plot a graph on a panel in App Designer?

Hi.
I have the below app design view, and I would like to plot the same linear graph (y = 1x) on both axes objects, one (UIAxes) is parented to a panel object and the other (UIAxes2) is just on a figure object.

To do this, I have the following callback function startupFcn (executed per app execution).

Then, the execution result is the following; no plot is apprently made on the axes belonging to the panel. Could you tell what was wrong in my code?

Your first diagram makes it look as if the panel is behind an axes. The drawing on top takes priority in App Designer.

I got that you wanted to plot the same linear graph on two different axes:
a) UIAxes inside a panel and
b) UIAxes2 directly on the figure.
But the function you are using attempts to re-parent UIAxes2 to the panel. The below adjustments to the design and code will achieve the desired behaviour.
- Make panel the parent component in the design itself.
- Now switch to Code View and give the below function as the StartupFcn:
function startupFcn(app)
x = 1:1:10; % X data
y = x; % Y data (y = x)
% Plot on UIAxes (inside the Panel)
plot(app.UIAxes, x, y, 'b-', 'LineWidth', 2);
title(app.UIAxes, 'Plot on UIAxes');
xlabel(app.UIAxes, 'X');
ylabel(app.UIAxes, 'Y');
grid(app.UIAxes, 'on');
% Plot on UIAxes2 (directly on the figure)
plot(app.UIAxes2, x, y, 'r--', 'LineWidth', 2);
title(app.UIAxes2, 'Plot on UIAxes2');
xlabel(app.UIAxes2, 'X');
ylabel(app.UIAxes2, 'Y');
grid(app.UIAxes2, 'on');
end
- Save and run the App. You will see the linear plot on UIAxes inside a panel and UIAxes2 directly on the figure.
Hope this addresses the query!

axes 2 is not parented to the panel, according to your original posting.
