Hi ,
I would like to move an object from one plot to another plot within the same GUI which I have created using GUIDE. Can anyone help me please.
Thanks

Vivekram, you can change any handle graphics "Parent" property. Here's a fully working example:
function F = tmpfunc() 
    F = figure;
    ax1 = subplot(1,2,1); axis([0 10 0 1])
    ax2 = subplot(1,2,2); axis([0 10 0 1])
    plotH = plot(ax1,rand(10,1),'.r-');
    uicontrol(F, 'String','Push Me', 'Position', [0 0 100 30],'Callback',@push_callback)
      function push_callback(src,evnt)
          currentParent = get(plotH,'Parent');
          if currentParent==ax1
              newParent=ax2;
          else
              newParent=ax1;
          end
          set(plotH,'Parent',newParent)
      end
  end
See the set() call at the end there? All it takes is the handle of the thing you want to move, and the handle of the thing you want to move it to.
Does this help answer your question?
