Hi ,
I would like to move an object from one plot to another plot within the same GUI which I have created using GUIDE. Can anyone help me please.
Thanks

Whatever you did to plot it the first time, why don't you just do it again in the other axes? You can then call cla reset on the first axes if you want.

Vivekram, you can change any handle graphics "Parent" property. Here's a fully working example:
function F = tmpfunc()
F = figure;
ax1 = subplot(1,2,1); axis([0 10 0 1])
ax2 = subplot(1,2,2); axis([0 10 0 1])
plotH = plot(ax1,rand(10,1),'.r-');
uicontrol(F, 'String','Push Me', 'Position', [0 0 100 30],'Callback',@push_callback)
function push_callback(src,evnt)
currentParent = get(plotH,'Parent');
if currentParent==ax1
newParent=ax2;
else
newParent=ax1;
end
set(plotH,'Parent',newParent)
end
end
See the set() call at the end there? All it takes is the handle of the thing you want to move, and the handle of the thing you want to move it to.
Does this help answer your question?
