How to get a scatterhistogram in an UIAxes (e.g. Matlab App)?

a = [1 2 3 4];
b = [1 2 3 4];
scatterhist(a,b) %works fine sofar

% I would like to display the scatterhist in an uiaxes as for example with
% a boxplot
myAxes = uiaxes;
boxplot(myAxes,a,1)

Unfortunately scatterhist does not support the axes graphics object.

Are there possibilities to fix that?

thank you very much

kind regards

Scatterhistogram creates a figure with 3 axes. You can expecify where those 3 axes should be using the optional parent argument: scatterhistogram(parent,___) where parent can be a figure, panel, tab object, tiledchartlayout, or gridlayout.

Within your app figure, add a uipanel or one of the other supported objects. Then specify that object in the first argument of scatterhistogram.

Here's a demo that creates a figure instead of an app.

load patients
tbl = table(LastName,Age,Gender,Height,Weight);

fig = figure('Color',[.8 .8 .8]); 
uip = uipanel(fig, 'Units','normalized','position', [.3 .3 .6 .6]);
s = scatterhistogram(uip,tbl,'Height','Weight');

If you prefer to use scatterhist, you can use the same workflow except that the parent argument is specified as name-value pair.

load fisheriris
x = meas(:,1);
y = meas(:,2);

fig = figure('Color',[.8 .8 .8]); 
uip = uipanel(fig, 'Units','normalized','position', [.3 .3 .6 .6]);
s = scatterhist(x,y,'Parent',uip);
