How can i edit this histogram code to allow it to go onto only one plot

I am plotting this currently and the 2 plots i have get mashed into one plot how can i use my handles.axes5 to only make this go to this axes

function pd1 = createFit(data)
  %CREATEFIT    Create plot of datasets and fits
  %   PD1 = CREATEFIT(DATA)
  %   Creates a plot, similar to the plot in the main distribution fitting
  %   window, using the data that you provide as input.  You can
  %   apply this function to the same data you used with dfittool
  %   or with different data.  You may want to edit the function to
  %   customize the code and this help message.
  %
  %   Number of datasets:  1
  %   Number of fits:  1

    % Data from dataset "data data":
    %    Y = data

    % Force all inputs to be column vectors
    data = data(:);

    % Prepare figure
    clf;
    hold on;
    LegHandles = []; LegText = {};

    % --- Plot data originally in dataset "data data"
    [CdfF,CdfX] = ecdf(data,'Function','cdf');  % compute empirical cdf
    BinInfo.rule = 1;
    [~,BinEdge] = internal.stats.histbins(data,[],[],BinInfo,CdfF,CdfX);
    [BinHeight,BinCenter] = ecdfhist(CdfF,CdfX,'edges',BinEdge);
    hLine = bar(BinCenter,BinHeight,'hist');
    set(hLine,'FaceColor','none','EdgeColor',[0.333333 0 0.666667],...
        'LineStyle','-', 'LineWidth',1);
    xlabel('Data');
    ylabel('Density')
    LegHandles(end+1) = hLine;
    LegText{end+1} = 'data data';

    % Create grid where function will be computed
    XLim = get(gca,'XLim');
    XLim = XLim + [0 1] * 0.01 * diff(XLim);
    XGrid = linspace(XLim(1),XLim(2),100);

    % --- Create fit "fit 2"

    % Fit this distribution to get parameter values
    % To use parameter estimates from the original fit:
    %     pd1 = ProbDistUnivParam('normal',[ 680773080421.6, 536136932045.3])
    pd1 = fitdist(data, 'normal');
    YPlot = pdf(pd1,XGrid);
    hLine = plot(XGrid,YPlot,'Color',[1 0 0],'LineStyle','-', 'LineWidth',2,'Marker','none', 'MarkerSize',6);
    LegHandles(end+1) = hLine;
    LegText{end+1} = 'fit 2';

    % Adjust figure
    box on;
    hold off;

    % Create legend from accumulated handles and labels
    hLegend = legend(LegHandles,LegText,'Orientation', 'vertical', 'Location', 'NorthEast');
    set(hLegend,'Interpreter','none');

It looks like that the code for createFit() acts upon only the current figure. So you need to make your handles.axes5 the current figure. So before you call that function, issue this command:

axes(handles.axes5);

That will make handles.axes5 the current figure and anything createFit() does should happen inside handles.axes5.

Sorry that didn't work

[Walter Roberson]

You can't make an axes the current figure -- but you can make it the current axes, which is what is required (as well as getting rid of the clf call)

[Image Analyst]

Yeah, that's what I meant - just got imprecise with my terminology. Thanks for the correction.

Your question is not clear. The code you show uses only a single axes, so it will all appear on one plot.

If your question is how to get this output to appear on an existing plot, then remove the clf() from the code, and use the axes() call before calling this routine as Image Analyst discusses.

[anthony]

What is happening is when this routine is plotted the plot makes both the axes i have which is axes 4 and axes 5 into one big plot. Then my program goes into an error mode which my menus disappear and my whole figure collapses all the labels gone only the one big plot of this histogram

[Walter Roberson]

Have you tried removing the clf() yet ?
