Hi all
I have a function which has a figure as output . now I'm trying to use this function as part of my GUI and i want to put this figure in axes of my GUI.thanks for any solotion.
MATLAB: How to put function’s out put plot in Guide axes

I assume you're using GUIDE. So you've placed an axes control onto your GUI (figure). Let me assume that control has a "tag" property of axes1. So handles.axes1 is the handle to the axes control. When you want to plot, assign title, x and y labels, etc. just call the axes() function passing it the handle to the axes you want the functions to apply to, so in your push button callback, have this:
axes(handles.axes1); % Make current axes axes1.
plot(1:10, 'b*-', 'LineWidth', 2, 'MarkerSize', 13);xlabel('X', 'FontSize', 20);ylabel('Y', 'FontSize', 20);title('Y vs. X', 'FontSize', 20);One problem in passing the axes into plot() is that it doesn't make it the current axes, so functions like title() will apply to whatever axes is "current", which may have been some other one, not the one you called plot for while passing in the handle. If you do it like I did, then xlabel, etc. will definitely apply to this axes and no other one.
I still think repositioning the axis to make room for a marginal colorbar is the cleanest and most efficient approach (see the various position properties of axes).
However, here's how to add an axes under a cloned colorbar. The basic idea is to create a new axis on top of the existing colorbar, set the axis colormap properties to match the main axis, then add a new colorbar to the new axes. Then set the colorbar properties to match those of the initial colorbar. Toward the end of the code below, you can set the transparency level of the new axis. Note that the original colorbar is turned off but still exists. See inline comments for more detail.
% Open one of your figures
% Get fig, axes, and colorbar handles from current figure
% Assumes 1 axes and 1 colorbar per figure
fh = gcf(); axh = findall(fh, 'Type','Axes');cbh = findall(fh, 'Type','ColorBar');% Create an axis on top of the current colbar
ax2 = axes('position',cbh.Position,'XTick',[],'YTick',[],'Box','on'); % expand the size of the new axis
% The axis will be 4X wider and its height will be slight larger to make room for title
ax2.Position(1) = ax2.Position(1) - .01; ax2.Position(2) = ax2.Position(2) - .01; ax2.Position(3) = ax2.Position(3)*4; ax2.Position(4) = 1 - ax2.Position(2) - .01;% The new axis must match the color scale of the one we're imitating
ax2.Colormap = axh.Colormap; ax2.ColorScale = axh.ColorScale; % set colorbar in new axes (you can add other important properties as needed)
cb2 = colorbar(ax2); cb2.Position = cbh.Position; cb2.FontSize = cbh.FontSize; cb2.Limits = cbh.Limits; cb2.LimitsMode = cbh.LimitsMode; cb2.TickDirection = cbh.TickDirection; cb2.YAxisLocation = cbh.YAxisLocation; caxis(ax2,cbh.Limits)% Set title of colorbar
th = title(cb2,cbh.Title.String,'Units','Normalize');th.Position(1) = th.Position(1) - min(0,th.Extent(1)-.00); %Move title to fit on axes
% set transparency of new axes (undocumented)
% v---transparency (0:1)
ax2.Color = [1 1 1 .6];% Turn off old colorbar (keep it around in case you need to reference it later)
cbh.Visible = 'off';
