Combine multiple figures (.fig) with subplots into one figure.

I have two (.fig) files; a.fig and b.fig.

a.fig contains four plots (each with their own colorbars) in a 2x2 grid; b.fig contains two loglog plots in a 2x1 layout, with a legend on each plot

I used the code below to create b.fig from two individual .fig files, however I would like all the plots to be in one figure, but I don't how to modify the code below to do this. (when creating b.fig using the code below I had trouble with plotting the legend so I used 'sub-plot-legend' from the file exchange to replot the legend).

     % Open old figures.
    gu = open('gugu.fig');
    gu_ax = gca;
    lu = open('lulu.fig');
    lu_ax = gca;
    F = figure; % New figure
    P1 = subplot(1,2,1); % Plot a subplot.
    P1_pos = get(P1,'position'); % get its position.
    delete(P1) % Delete the subplot
    P2 = subplot(1,2,2);
    P2_pos = get(P2,'position');
    delete(P2);
    P = copyobj(gu_ax,F); % Copy the gu_ax to new fig
    set(P,'position',P2_pos) % Set its position to the deleted subplot's
    P = copyobj(lu_ax,F);
    set(P,'position',P1_pos)

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

I don't think you should count on gu's axes being the current axes after the open(). It would probably be safer to use

gu_ax = findobj(gu, 'type', 'axes');

and correspondingly

lu_ax = findobj(lu, 'type', 'axes');
