How can I assign a histfit graph to a parent axis in a gui?

For instance, if I type:

" plot(x,y,'parent',handles.axes1) "

this will plot x and y to axes1 in my gui, but if I type:

" histfit(data_set,number_of_bins,'parent',handles.axes1) "

(where data_set is a vector of arbitrary length and number of bins is some constant)

MATLAB tells me I have too many input arguments for histfit. I was wondering if there was a way around this error message. Thanks

histfit always plots to the current axes.You need to make the axes you wish to place this on the current axes using:

axes(handles.axes1)
histfit(data_set,number_of_bins)

This will then appear on the axes stored in handles.axes1.

Future releases should fix this and allow users to specify the axes as an optional first input as almost all matlab graphics functions do.
