Importing .fig with subplots into GUI

Hi,

I am trying to implement a solution posted by Bruno Luong that I found here. His solution is as follows:

% Generate a fig file
close all;
figure(1);
clf(1);
axsource=axes('Parent',1);
plot(axsource,rand(10,1));
hgsave(1,'sourcefig.fig');
close all;

% Load the fig file
h=hgload('sourcefig.fig');
set(h,'Visible','off');
tmpaxes=findobj(h,'Type','axes');

% Copy the axe
figure(2);
destaxes=subplot(2,2,1,'Parent',2)
copyobj(allchild(tmpaxes),destaxes);

% Clean up
close(h)

% Bruno

I think I have an understanding of what he is doing. What I would like to do is import a previously saved .fig file with 24 subplots (3,8,x) into a gui. I am using Bruno's example to do this by copying one subplot handle at a time and transferring to the new axes. I'm still having some issues but am working towards the solution. Am I on the right path? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

This is the change I made to Bruno's code, which seems to be working standalone. Meaning, it's been implemented outside of the gui.

% Generate a fig file
close all;
figure(1);
clf(1);
axsource=axes('Parent',1);
h = struct2handle(data.T1,0)
saveas(gcf,'sourcefig.fig')
% plot(axsource,rand(10,1));
% hgsave(1,'sourcefig.fig');
close all;

% Load the fig file
h=hgload('sourcefig.fig');
set(h,'Visible','off');
tmpaxes=findobj(h,'Type','axes');

% Copy the axe
figure(2);
for ii = 1:length(tmpaxes)
    destaxes(ii)=subplot(3,8,ii,'Parent',2)
    copyobj(allchild(tmpaxes(ii)),destaxes(ii));
end

% Clean up
close(h)

However, when I try to implement within my gui, I am unable to plot all subplots simultaneously in the gui figure. Here is what I am doing:

% Copy the axe  
for ii = 1:length(tmpaxes)
   destaxes(ii)=subplot(3,8,ii,'Parent',double(gui.PlotBox1));
   copyobj(allchild(tmpaxes(ii)),destaxes(ii));
end

Having gone through it in debug mode, I see that each subplot is plotted but cleared through every iteration of the loop. "hold on;" does not seem to work. Any suggestions?

I just ended up creating the axes in the gui to handle this. That seems to be the way to do it.
