Plot 2 Figures on a GUI (guide)

I have a GUI created in guide which has two axis on the GUI itself. I have a button which runs a separate function (which cannot be included in the GUI main script due to complexity) which generates two graphs. I want these two graphs to plot on the GUI. When I run the usual plotting method, one graph is plotted on the GUI, the other opens in a separate figure. How would I go about changing this?

As an example, I have created the below code. plot(x,y) plots on one axis on the GUI, plot(y,x) opens in a new figure.

 function example
 x=[1:10];
 y=x.^2;
 plot(x,y)
 figure;
 plot(y,x);
 end

   x=[1:10];
   y=x.^2;
   subplot(2,1,1)
   plot(x,y)
   subplot(2,1,2)
   plot(y,x);

That works, but causes the GUI axis to resize. Do you have any idea how to stop this happening?

[Birdman]

I actually don't know about it, but have a look at this tab:

GUIDE->Tools->GUI Options->Resizable Behavior

I meant the axis resizes not the whole GUI, but thank you anyway

[Birdman]

For that, you need to set limits for x axes. With that, auto resizing will not happen.

set(gca, 'XLim', [0 10]);%as an example
