A GUI is a figure. A figure cannot be a child of a figure. Therefore it is not clear, what you want to achieve. Please explain, what "draw a figure" exactly means.
Perhaps you want a uipanel?

What created the GUI? If you created it, then you have the figure number (handle). Seems even if it is a GUIDE one, it shows up in get(0,'children');

| by drawing a figure i am assuming u mean to plot something in the window? In order to plot anything in the gui figure window, u need to define the axis beforehand and get the handle of the axis. Then you can plot whatever u want in the axis. even if u want to draw some image using imdraw. u need to define the axis on which u want to draw.
Rest, agree with Jan. A figure cannot be a child of figure.

If you are displaying pre-defined images then you want image() rather than imdraw().
