Parent patch to figure, not axes

I'm making a simple drawing in matlab, where certain coordinates are determined by the output of another code.
I've been doing this in a figure window, and it works fine for rectangles and lines (which have the figure window as parent) but whenever I create a patch, it also creates a set of axes, which I don't want. I want all the positions to relative to the figure window.
The code is below
% Create figure
figure1 = figure;
set(figure1,'units','normalized', 'Position', [0.1 0.1 0.6 0.8]);
annotation(figure1,'rectangle',...
[0.05 0.05 0.2 0.6],...
'FaceColor',[1 1 1],...
'LineStyle','none');
% Create rectangle
annotation(figure1,'rectangle',...
[0.05 la(i) 0.3 ma(i)],...
'FaceColor',[1 1-ca(i) 1-ca(i)],...
'LineStyle','none');
if i>1
if ma(i)>2e-16
X = [0.05; 0.15; 0.18; 0.02];
Y = [0.65; 0.65; 0.90; 0.90];
patch(X,Y,[1 1-ca(i) 1-ca(i)],'LineStyle','none');
end
end
annotation(figure1,'rectangle',...
[0.25 0.05 0.4 0.2],...
'FaceColor',[1 1 1],...
'LineStyle','none');
annotation(figure1,'rectangle',...
[0.35 0.25 0.3 0.2],...
'FaceColor',[1 1 1],...
'LineStyle','none');
if i>1
if m1(i)>2e-16 && la(i)>0.25
X1 = 0.30 + ((la(i)-0.2))*0.12;
X2 = 0.25 - ((la(i)-0.2))*0.12;
X = [0.25; 0.30; X1; X2];
Y = [0.25; 0.25; la(i); la(i)];
patch(X,Y,[1 1-c1(i) 1-c1(i)],'LineStyle','none')
end
end
% Create rectangle
annotation(figure1,'rectangle',...
[0.25 l1(i) 0.4 m1(i)],...
'FaceColor',[1 1-c1(i) 1-c1(i)],...
'LineStyle','none');
if i>1
if m2(i)>2e-16 && la(i) > 0.65
X1 = 0.40 + ((la(i)-0.4))*0.12;
X2 = 0.35 - ((la(i)-0.4))*0.12;
X = [0.35; 0.40; X1; X2];
Y = [0.45; 0.45; la(i); la(i)];
patch(X,Y,[1 1-c2(i) 1-c2(i)],'LineStyle','none')
end
end
% Create rectangle
annotation(figure1,'rectangle',...
[0.35 l2(i) 0.3 m2(i)],...
'FaceColor',[1 1-c2(i) 1-c2(i)],...
'LineStyle','none');
% Create line
annotation(figure1,'line',[0.05 0.05],[0.05 0.65],'LineWidth',3);
annotation(figure1,'line',[0.05 0.65],[0.05 0.05],'LineWidth',3);
annotation(figure1,'line',[0.25 0.25],[0.05 0.25],'LineWidth',3);
annotation(figure1,'line',[0.65 0.65],[0.15 0.25],'LineWidth',3);
annotation(figure1,'line',[0.30 0.65],[0.25 0.25],'LineWidth',3);
annotation(figure1,'line',[0.35 0.35],[0.25 0.45],'LineWidth',3);
annotation(figure1,'line',[0.40 0.65],[0.45 0.45],'LineWidth',3);
annotation(figure1,'line',[0.65 0.65],[0.35 0.45],'LineWidth',3);
annotation(figure1,'line',[0.15 0.45],[0.65 0.65],'LineWidth',3);
annotation(figure1,'line',[0.45 0.45],[0.45 0.65],'LineWidth',3);
The patches are in the if statements.
I had this working earlier, but for some reason it changed, and I can't work out why!
Thanks

If your goal is just not to see the axes, you could do this:
set(gca,'visible','off')
A patch object cannot be the child of a figure. Setting the axes to invisible will make it so that you only see the patches, not the axes.

The pause was there so that you would see the change happen, otherwise it would be to fast!
