'hold on' with mapshow and roseplot

Hello,

I would like to change between mapshow and roseplot. My code is

handle_mapshow = mapshow ( X,Y)

handle_gca_mapshow = get (gca)

axes ( 'position' , [ 1 2 3 4  ] ) 

handle_rose    = rose(angles, bins )

NOW: I would like to go back to the mapshow axes. I tried things like (I think the following two were my best shots ...)

hold on handle_gca_mapshow

hold on (handle_gca_mapshow)

But it does not work. What do I do wrong? Would be very nice to hear from you.

Cheers, Claudia

axes(handle_gca_mapshow);

Hi Walter

Thank you for your answer. I had tried your suggestion, too, but always got the message

axes(handle_gca_mapshow)
Error using axes
Attempt to modify a property that is read-only.
Object Name :  axes
Property Name :  'BeingDeleted'.

But I can access

handle_gca_mapshow.Position

And I can do

new_axes = axes('Position',handle_gca_mapshow.Position);

And so I thought the code 'axes(handle_gca_mapshow)' is wrong. But it seems something else is wrong. Do you have any idea?

Thanks, Claudia
