How to get the position of imfreehand into a variable and use that position to be used for another image ?

In the GUI, in one callback function I used

 "hFH = imfreehand()"  %to draw freehand in an image.

 "xyposition = getPosition(hFH)" %%To get the positions of the coordinates.

Then in another callback funtion(pushbutton2), to get the same position ROI in another image, I tried

" hFH1 = imfreehand(gca,xyposition );"

But it is showing error as

 Invalid syntax. IMFREEHAND does not accept an initial
position.

Can any one help me.

Thanks...
