How can I put a line into an existing subplot

Hello World,

I want to add a line into an existing subplot. I have identified the axes which form the subplot and set them to hold:

>> allAxes = get(gcf,'Children'); >> axis(allAxes(6)); >> hold on

(I can even toggle the visibility just to make sure these are the right axes)

If I call the code to produce the line:

>> line([a a], [b b]);

this line is allways created in a different subplot than the one I have choosen. I thought calling axis(allAxes(6)) makes the current subplot the active one?

Whats wrong? Any ideas? Sebastian

line([a a], [b b], 'Parent', AllAxes(6))

Do you have to use line? You can try

plot(allAxes(6),[a a],[b b]);
