Updating GUI axes with a figure from disk.

Hello,

I am trying to write a UI for some structural analysis. I have got the UI to receive inputs and do all the calculation but I am having trouble getting the UI to display the figure produced. (The figure has been attached for reference).

Within the callback for 'centreView_menuItem_Callback' I am trying to update handles.axes1 to the handle for the figure (saved in the same directory). I am able to plot a sine function in the viewport, but I cannot get it to display the figure.

What am I missing?

function centreView_menuItem_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
  % hObject    handle to centreView_menuItem (see GCBO)
  % eventdata  reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB
  % handles    structure with handles and user data (see GUIDATA)
  x = 1:10
  y = sin(x)
  hfig = openfig('currentFig.fig');

    %plot(handles.axes1, x,y)
    plot(handles.axes1, hfig)
