plot function in predesigned figure

Hello!

tryscript is my script, tryyy is my desired function and f_vorlage is where I define h. h is the in f_vorlage predesigned graph I want to put my function x in.

But, it doesnt work. As soon as tryyy plots x it sort of deletes h?

I want to plot x in my predesigned h.

How do I do this?

Thank you for the support!

Perhaps use hold on?

h=figure(1);
hold on
f_vorlage(h)
tryyy(h)

In addition in your tryyy.m have it grab the current plot handle with gca

function tryyy(fig)

h=gca
ax = findobj(h, 'type', 'axes');
if isempty(ax)
    error('Your figure does not have any existing axes')
end
if length(ax) > 1
    error('Your figure has more than one axes')
end
x=[52.23;52.45;56.32;55.48;56.32;53.39;55.53;53.67;57.89]
x=x'
plot(x)

Using a random set of values it looks like it plots properly

function tryyy(fig)

h=gca
ax = findobj(h, 'type', 'axes');
if isempty(ax)
    error('Your figure does not have any existing axes')
end
if length(ax) > 1
    error('Your figure has more than one axes')
end
x=200*rand(1,10000)-50;
plot(x)

thank you so much!

It should work but I suspect that because your y scale stops at 200 you cannot see the rest of the graph.

axis auto 

Should fix your scaling issue but you'd have to figure out a way to fix your nice grid to change depending on the largest data point you're plotting.

yes this is the solution! thank you!
