Retrospectively add graphs to tiled layout

For example, if I have 10 figures saved as .fig files in a directory and load them in via a script so i have figure 1, figure 2 etc., is there a way that I could put these figures in a tiledlayout(5,2) format even though the figures have already being produced beforehand?

Yes, change the Parent property of each of your plot axes from their initial figure window to the tiledlayout.

plot(rand(1,5),'x-');  savefig('FIG1'); close  %Make some fig files
plot(rand(1,10),'o-'); savefig('FIG2'); close
close all


f1=figure;
t=tiledlayout(1,2,'Parent',f1);  %Create tiled layout

openTL('FIG1.fig',t,1);  %Open .fig files and transfer the plots to the tiledlayout
openTL('FIG2.fig',t,2);

function openTL(file,t,i)

 Hfig=figure(openfig(file)); 
 axis equal
 ax=findobj(Hfig,'Type','axes');
 ax.Parent=t;
 ax.Layout.Tile=i;
 close(Hfig);

end

I don't think I understand. How would I do this, could you explain how you'd do it with the exmaple below?

x = linspace(0,10,100);

y=x;

figure(1);

plot(x,y);

y=x.^2;

figure(2);

plot(x,y);

From this stage do I need to go onto figure (1) and go to Edit -> axes properties and from here what do I do? What do I need to do with figure (2) to get it alongside figure(1)?

I've added an example.

Did it work?

Yes that worked great thanks Matt!
