Plotting an existing MATLAB plot into another figure

I used the plot command to plot a figure and then changed lots of its properties using set command. I also store the handle of the plot (say h1). What I need is to use the handle to plot the same figure again later in my code. I checked the plot command and did not find any version that accepts handle. I also thought of getting the Xdata and Ydata and use them to re-plot the same figure. What is the simplest solution? Edit 1: A working sample code based on copyobj that PeterM suggested. ``` hf(1) = figure(1); plot(peaks); hf(2) = figure(2); plot(membrane); hf(3) = figure(3); ha(1) = subplot(1,2,1); ha(2) = subplot(1,2,2); for i = 1:2 hc = get(hf(i),'children'); hgc = get(hc, 'children'); copyobj(hgc,ha(i)); end ``` Edit 2: I also found this function that can copy figures (including legend) into a subplot.
