Creating an inset figure from an other fig file

Hello everyone,

I am trying to create an inset in a figure based on a different figure.

Basically, I have a plot that generates a figure and then I add :

handaxes2 = axes('position', [0.52 0.52 0.38 0.38]);

To create my inset figure and then I plot my data. But I don't know how I can do it with an other .fig file instead of a set of data ?

I have attached my fig files if needed,

Thank you for your help,

Best regards.

% open the first figure
fig1 = openfig('figure1.fig','visible');

% create the new axes
ax2 = axes(fig1,'Units','normalized','position',[0.52 0.52 0.38 0.38]);

% open the second figure
fig2 = openfig('figure2.fig','invisible');

% copy the stuff from the second figure's axes into the new axes
ch = findall(fig2.CurrentAxes);
ch(ch == fig2.CurrentAxes) = [];
copyobj(ch,ax2)

% delete the second figure
delete(fig2)

Thank you @Voss : your help was appreciated. Indeed, I was looking for this particular function to copy a whole figure dataset.
