There is most likely a way to dock and arrange multiple figures using undocumented java functionality, but I suspect you don't really need to do that.

You'd be better off either
a) creating a 3rd figure and changing the parent property of our 2 axes to be that figure.
You'll most likely need to play around with their position property once you've done that.
b) a similar thing: change the position of the axes on one of your figure (to make it smaller) and then copy the axes from the second figure onto it.

You may find that
>> doc copyobj 
is useful to read.
