How can I select an axis of a GUI figure by clicking on it in order to ploting it to a seperate figure outside of the GUI?

Hello, I have a GUI function with one axis. But depending on the value of a variable named ChannelNumbers, I plot 1 to 4 plots using subplot function. For example, if Channel number is 4, I use subplot(4,1,1 to 4) to plot 4 sets of data. If it is 2, I have two subplots (2,1,1) and (2,1,2)

The question is that I want to select among these subplots by clicking on each of them so that when I click on any of axes, the corresponding data would be plotted to a seperate figure outside of the GUI. How I can decide among axes by clicking on each of them?

Thank you in advance,

Great Monday morning warmup question! +1

function OpenSubPlotInNewFigue

      for ii = 1:4
          %Create foru subplots with a button down function pointed at
          %copy2Figure with random data.
          subplot(4,1,ii,'ButtonDownFcn',@copy2NewFigure); 
          hold on
          plot(rand(1,10));
      end
  end

function copy2NewFigure(src,~)

      hFig = figure; %new figure
      hAx = axes('Parent',hFig); %new axes
      copyobj(get(src,'children'),hAx); %copy the children of the clicked axes to the new one    

end

Save this and run it.
