Automatically Refresh a plot in GUIDE

I am using GUIDE to plot a graph of data that is being updated in a fixed period. Therefore, I want to refresh automatically my plot in the GUI. I followed the instructions from this link: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/creating_guis/automatically-refresh-plot-in-a-guide-gui.html

I am able to update the plot. But, the plot is being updated in a figure outside my GUI, which is not what I desire. See attached figure. How can I fix this?

if you could paste in the sections of code that does the defining which axes to update and the sections that does the updating.

One thought is that you did not set the target axes inside the gui as they have done in the example. such that when you do update/plot it again it opens a new figure.

Thank you, Joseph Cheng, for your suggestion.

See the code in the example, which updates the data of the existing plot only, instead of drawing a new one:

set(handles.surf, 'ZData', Z);

If you post your code, we could suggest which line has to be modified.

Thank you very much, this solved my problem!

axes(h), where h is the handle for the axes you want, before the plot command, should do the trick.
