Is there an easy way to redirect the output of gscatter to a previously defined axes handle?

We are developing a GUI that has a drop box to select the plot type. These different plot types plot in the same figure and axes. We would like to use gscatter from the Statistics Toolbox, but it seems to have no way to redirect its output to a pre-defined figure and axes. Anyone know a way to do this.

Probably you just need to make the important axes the current axes. For example:

figure
hax1 = subplot(2,1,1);
hax2 = subplot(2,1,2);

load discrim
axes(hax1)
gscatter(ratings(:,1),ratings(:,2),group,'br','xo')

If you use

 axes(hax1)

to make hax1 the current axes, then the plot is made in this axes (upper panel). Otherwise it is made in the current axes hax2 (lower panel)...

This will not work in our situation, and I did try it. The issue is that we have multiple figures that automatically update upon receipt of an event. Some are GUI figures,and to prevent some of the GUI figures from receiving the plots, their handles are hidden. We update the plot figures by directing the output of the plot commands to their respective plot handles (even though they are hidden). Gscatter makes calls to newplot and gca. This only returns figures and axes with visible handles. Since we do not have that, we cannot use gscatter, unless we re-write it and overload the function in our own classes. We may do that, but for now I will look for another way.
