Hi Yi,
first, thanks for the prompt response, i can already get something going )
some questions still:
when i run:
>open('gugu.fig');
>h_gugu=get(gca,'Children');
i get:
h_gugu =
  172.3331
  171.3347

why the two numbers?
if i delete one of them i can get some progress and get the two subplots.

do i get it right that i need to copy each and every property of the fig file? i.e. lines, colormap, titles etc'. is there a way to copy all together?

thanks a lot for your help,
ZiV
