It depends upon the code that got saved. If it has its own "figure" call, then you would have difficulty doing what you wanted without editing the code.

Sometimes the easiest thing to do in cases like these is to create a uipanel() at the position one wants the graphics to go, and then do the drawing on the uipanel.

thanks....i actually figured out that my drawing can also be saved as a .fig file . so nw all i wish to do is show theat fig file in the GUI at the axes component,when the button is pressed

open() the '.fig' file, set() the resulting figure visibility to be 'off' immediately, get() the children of that figure and copyobj() them to the uipanel. You might have to be a bit selective about the kinds of objects you copy to avoid (e.g.) copying menus and title bars.
