Using hold to generate scatter-histogram in for loop

I'm attempting to combine multiple scatter-histograms into one figure. I have randomly assigned y-values for each x-value. I've tried adding 'hold' and 'hold on' before and within the for loop. Matlab keeps outputting individual figures. Any help would be great!

a=1; b=10;

for i=1:MiceNumb

    xData=0;
    yData=0;

        xData = xDataCellArray{i};
        r=(b-a).*rand(5000,1) + a; 
        yData=r(1:size(xData));

    figure 
    if  genotype(1,i)==1               
        scatterhist(xData,yData,'Kernel','on','LineStyle',{'-'},'Marker','.');  
    end 
end

There are two approaches to creating a scatterhistogram while using a loop.

The first is to collect the data within the loop and then plot it afterwards. You'll likely need to create a grouping variable to keep track of which loop the data came from. Then use the following syntax where the arguments are vectors.

scatterhistogram(xvalues,yvalues,'GroupData',grpvalues)

The second approach would be to produce the scatterhistogram at the beginning and then append its data properties. That approach is demonstrated in this comment: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/1770655-how-to-hold-different-constellations-using-scatterhistogram#comment_3330674
