When you create the axis in the first place, store its handle in a variable. You can subsequently refer to that axis by that variable.

Thanks, but how can I store a handle of an axes which I designed manually in a gui in a variable? I tried this:

% --- Executes during object creation, after setting all properties.
function axes5_CreateFcn(hObject, eventdata, axes5)
% hObject    handle to axes5 (see GCBO)
% eventdata  reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB
% handles    empty - handles not created until after all CreateFcns called
axes5=get(gcf,'CurrentAxes')


... but out of the funcion, I can't use the variable axes5. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

Have you tried using the "findobj" function?
