MATLAB: How to refer the figure name in matlab

figureMATLAB

Hi, I would like to define a figure and then for that specific figure do some things. Foe example: I would like to vreat a digure say:
h1 = figure('units','normalized','outerposition',[0 0 1 1]);
and then I want for h1 to do for example:
   subplot(1,3,1)
     plot(N_vec,1./Err(N_vec),sprintf('*%c',colconds(loop)),'LineWidth',5)
     hold on
     plot(N_vec,1./ErrPV(N_vec),sprintf('*%c',colconds(loop+2)),'LineWidth',5)
     hold on
     xlabel('Population size','fontsize',20)
     ylabel('Error^-2 ','fontsize',20)
     legend('OLE','PV','OLE shuffled','PV shuffled','Location','northwest')
The thing is that from loop reasons, h1 is defined far from the above lines. and is not the current figure handel. So I want the above lines to refer specifically for h1. somethong like:
subplot('h1',1,3,1)
   plot('h1',N_vec,1./Err(N_vec),sprintf('*%c',colconds(loop)),'LineWidth',5)
   hold on
   plot('h1',N_vec,1./ErrPV(N_vec),sprintf('*%c',colconds(loop+2)),'LineWidth',5)
   hold on
   xlabel('h1','Population size','fontsize',20)
   ylabel('h1','Error^-2 ','fontsize',20)
   legend('h1','OLE','PV','OLE shuffled','PV shuffled','Location','northwest')
But matlab gives error whenever i try to add the name h1 in the specific commands for the figure…
how do I refer the figure handel when I actully want to use it?
Thanks!!

fH = figure;
dummy = figure;
plot(1:10);
figure(fH); %Make fH current
plot(rand(10,1));
