Close Subplot in GUI

How can I close one or more subplot in GUI but not the figure? I need it to clear the subplot's variables and restart the function...

Sorry, I means 'subplot' as an axes.

So, how can I close one or more Axes in GUI but not the figure. Then, I want to delete also all the variables on the previous axes and change it with the new one

SUBPLOT replies a handle to the created AXES object. If you store these handles, DELETE can clear a single AXES:

AxesH = zeros(1, 4);  % Always pre-allocate!
for i = 1:4
  AxesH(i) = subplot(2, 2, i);
end

pause(2);
delete(AxesH(2))

You do not offer enough information for any suggestion about "restart the function".

ups,,

I means the subplot condition in GUI...

It's enough on finding the way (or syntax) to close the axes.

Mm,, 'restart the function' just refers to call my looping script that will be access when I press the button.

It just need to clear the previous axes (and its variables) to change the graph with the new one.

Ok. I'll try it ^_^ Thanks Jan

Hi, I am also trying to delete a subplot from a figure. I have set a global variable axhandle, which takes the output of the subplot, e.g. axhandle(i)=subplot('Position',mymatrixofposition(i,:))

However, I receive the following error while trying to delete the subplot, using delete(axhandle(i)): Root object may not be deleted

Do you know where this error come from?

Thank you, Gaelle
