hgfigures.Visible = 'off';

Using:

hgfigures = hggroup;

set(gcf,'Visible','off');

hggroup() creates an hggroup in the current axes in the current figure.

If there is no current figure, then a new figure is created and made the current figure. If there is no current axes, then a new axes is created in the current figure and made the current axes. Finally, an hggroup is created.

If you want to create an hggroup in a new figure that's invisible, then create the invisible figure right before creating the hggroup:

figure('Visible','off'); % creates an invisible figure
my_group = hggroup(); % creates an axes then an hggroup

Better is to store handles to the graphics objects (figure, axes, etc.) you create and use the handles to specify where other objects belong:

my_fig = figure('Visible','off');
my_ax = axes(my_fig); % creates an axes in my_fig
my_group = hggroup(my_ax); % creates an hggroup in my_ax
