I have two axes objects in my gui, handles.Plot1 and handles.Plot2. I need to know how to switch back and forth between these to add various features and overlays as my code progresses. I tried both

axes(handles.Plot1)
set(figureName,'CurrentAxes',handles.Plot1)

but i receive the errors:

??? Error using ==> axes
Invalid axes handle

??? Error using ==> set
hggroup handle passed to 'CurrentAxes' property - valid axes handle required

I've checked the handle tags several times and i am driving myself crazy! thanks

Looks like they are not *axes* handles like you think they are. Looks like
they are the result of plotting something such as a bar chart.

get(handles.Plot1, 'Type')

will probably show you hggroup rather than axes.

To find the axes that the hggroup is embedded in, use

ancestor(handles.Plot1, 'axes')

That suggests that you overwrote handles.Plot1 with the handle to an
hggroup, so it no longer contains a handle to an axes (which is what the
figure CurrentAxes property expects.) Since you haven't posted a lot of
your code, I think you're the only one who'll be able to debug this.

thank you both, this is exactly what i did. thanks for telling me what to look for. ctrl+f is an amazing tool as well.
