MATLAB: Switch from GUI axes to figure() and back

axesfigureguiMATLAB

I want to plot my graph either in GUI axes or in a separate figure As Walter recommended ( http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/22208-show-figure) I could switch to figure() using
if PlotInFigure
handles.Fig1_axes=axes('Parent',figure(1));
end
plot(handles.Fig1_axes,x,y,'-b'),
Now I want to plot my graph in GUI axes during the next run of my code (with a different value of checkbox, for instance)
if ~PlotInFigure
???
end
plot(handles.Fig1_axes,x,y,'-b'),
How can I do it? Thanks!

Best Answer

if PlotInFigure
  handles.Fig1_axes = axes('Parent', figure(1));
  plot_into = handles.Fig1_axes;
else
  plot_into = TheHandleOfTheAxesInTheGUI;
end
plot(plot_into, x, y, '-b'),
