Thread Subject: Plot to a figure from a function

in my script i do

h = figure;

then i have a loop which calls a function 'MyFunction' with

MyFunction(h(1), more_params)

the function definition for MyFunction is

function MyFunction(h, more_params)

inside MyFunction, i do

plot(h, ones(10))

and nothing(!) happens until after the program finishes
running, at which point i get a blank axis displayed

does it not work like this?

Thanks,

David

Hi David,

The plot function expects an axes handle, not a figure handle. Try the
following:

   f = figure;
   a = axes;

   MyFunction(a, ...);

Inside the function:

    plot(a, ... );

I hope that helps.

Thanks.

Rick
