when i tried this code without separated function , it worked beautifully. but when i separated the code into 2 different function in a m-file, the code gave me error like this:
Error using delete
Argument must contain a string.
Error in projection_profileBETA (line 94)
delete(hSubplots); % to refresh all subplots in the figure 2.
why did it demand a string suddenly on delete parameter ?
thank you

@ Jan : i just updated my post code. actually i meant "char_out" instead of "char". so will clear give an error if there are no variable to clear sir ?

I guess this is the old problem of using globals: You cannot see, where such variables are changed. A callback of a timer or a GUI can modify it without any chance to see, who is responsible.
Use at least the debugger to find out, what the contents of hSubplots is. Type this in the command window:
dbstop if error
Run your code again and when it stops type:
class(hSubplots)
size(hSubplots)
hSubplots
What do you see? Does this reveal why the value is not accepted by delete?

@Jan : I am sorry sir. I meant just
delete(hSubplots);
without using loop to delete hSubplots.1 by 1.
hSubplots variable was created in horizontal_profile() function. and delete it in projection_prrofileBeta() function.

@ Walter Roberson : i think so sir. I just tought that it was same if i store those vector of grafic handles to cell instead of array, even faster.
Thank you for the info sir. you've helped me a lot
