MATLAB: Focus on axes with rotate3d

MATLABmatlab gui

Hello
How can I set the rotate3d option to a specific axes ?
My Problem is that when this command line is reached a new figure opens by itself
how can solve this problem ?
Thanks

You can enable rotation only in the specific axes by executing the following line:
rotate3d(axes_handle)
For example, if you had two axes as subplots in one figure, you could enable rotation in only the second one with:
figure;
ax1 = subplot(1,2,1)
plot(...)
ax2 = subplot(1,2,2)
plot(...)
rotate3d(ax2);
See the documentation for rotate3d for details.
As for your question about a new figure opening by itself, can you please show us your code where this happens?
