What is a "creatfit function"? What is a "relative figure"? How can a figure be opened in which editor?

If you're asking how to programmatically dock the figure, you can set its 'windowstyle' property.
In order to create a new empty figure, you can do this.
% create an empty docked figure
figure('windowstyle','docked')
At which point, you could plot in it as usual.
You could also set the property of a figure after the fact.
% just put something in a figure
inpict = imread('cameraman.tif');
imshow(inpict)
% dock the figure
set(gcf,'windowstyle','docked') % or use a specific fig handle

The exported script creates a new figure, so it won't use any figures created before or afterward. Unless you modify the script, you'll have to set the properties of the new figure after the script creates it.
It works for me when I either do
[fr gof] = createFit(x,y)
set(gcf,'windowstyle','docked')
or alternatively, if I modify the script:
% ...
% Plot fit with data.
figure( 'Name', 'untitled fit 1' , 'windowstyle','docked');
% ...
I think what might be happening is that there is no expected location for the docked figure. You might try docking an empty figure first so that MATLAB knows where you want the docked figure to go.
That said, I'm using R2019b, and lots of things have changed since.
