Slient axes command

Good day to you all.
I have a GUI where the user enters various parameters. When one
parameter is changed, the GUI update à figure, which is plotted on
another figure (different from the GUI one).
The figure in question is called by the command axes, which have an
annoying behaviour : it steals the focus from the GUI figure and
raise the plotting figure on top. I find this annoying, because the
user have to enter several parameters in a row, by switching through
many input boxes in the GUI figure.
Someone in the File Exchange proposed a script called 'sfigure' that
create a figure silently without stealing the focus and bringing this
figure to the top. I might have misused it but it didn't work for me.

I was wondering : how could one tweak the command 'axes' so that it
would not steal the focus and update silently the plotting figure ?

Hi,

I think you should use SET/GET instead of AXES :
<http://www.mathworks.com/support/te.../1200/1205.html>

Try this :

figure('units','normalized',...
'position',[.3 .3 .4 .4])

axes('tag','ax')

figure('units','normalized',...
'position',[.1 .3 .4 .4])

uicontrol(gcf,'string','A','callback', ...
'set(findobj(''tag'',''ax''),''color'',r
and(1,3))');

uicontrol(gcf,'units','normalized',...
'position',[.05 .2 .1 .1],...
'string','B','callback', ...
['axes(findobj(''tag'',''ax''));'...
'set(gca,''color'',rand(1,3))']);

See difference between buttons A & B

It's perfectly working. Thanks Jérôme, also for the help on the other
thread.
