ImageAnalyst,
Thanks for the assistance. I have already created an axes in GUIDE, and I would like to perform the tweaking of the axes from inside the code as you mentioned. So since my axes tag is "figure" I would use

handles.figure

and similarly

set(handles.figure, 'XGrid','on'); etc...

Is this correct? So basically I will create all of the properties of the plot using similar

set(handles.figure, ............);

Thanks

Yes, that's correct, although I would choose a different tag name than
"figure" because I always like to avoid reserved MATLAB-built-in names
for my variable and control names. I typically use the names like I
told you. They're good because they're descriptive and they identify
the control as an axes, which it is. You've called it figure, which
it's not, and conflicts with the reserved word "figure" - bad
practice. I typically call the main GUI that contains all the various
controls (axes, listboxes, checkboxes, pushbuttons, etc.)
"figMainWindow" because again, it's descriptive and identifies it as a
figure. I'll preface other controls with the type of control that
they are, eg, lstXXXXX, btnXXXXXX, chkXXXXXX, sldXXXXXX, radXXXXXX,
etc. It helps me keep things organized and helps me know what
something is when I refer to it in the code.

When you want to switch focus to one of the axes on your GUI, you can
call axes():
axes(handles.axesPlot); % Switch gca to axesPlot.
% Do stuff like plotting.
axes(handles.axesImage); % Switch gca to axesImage.
% Do stuff like display an image. It will now show up in axesImage
instead of axesPlot.

ImageAnalyst, thanks for your help. I'll try to figure this out later on this evening and I'll post the results asap.

Ok so here's where I'm at, I have added the following to the opening_Fcn

set(handles.AxesPlot,'XGrid', 'on');
set(handles.AxesPlot,'YGrid', 'on');
set(handles.AxesPlot,'Color',[0 0 0]);
set(handles.AxesPlot,'YColor', 'b');
set(handles.AxesPlot,'XColor', 'b');

and it is approximately the look I am going for. So now I am attempting to plot my data however it isn't. I put this code

set(handles.AxesPlot,xz,yz,'Marker','*','LineWidth',2.0,'Color',[0 1 0]);

in the opening_Fcn however I'm getting an error and it's with the term 'Marker'. This is how I have created the "dot" on the plot outside of the gui. What should I do about this?

Also I'm working on the actual plot commands which are in my receive button function. I wrote these lines

set(handles.AxesPlot,'YData',yz,'XData',xz);
set(handles.AxesPlot,'Visible','on');

however I'm not seeing anything on the graph. I'm not sure if this is because of the marker issue, or because these aren't even the correct commands. Let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks
