Why on plot or patch or line commands a new figure opens by itself ?

hello

I'm having a problem ...

I tried setting all hold on , axis equal, axes on, axes off to hold(handles.axes,'on'), axis(handles.axes,'equal') etc... but I keep having as a result the plot that I want on the axes that I want but with a figure and an empty axes on it which I didn't even call!

what can I do ?
