How can I force a plot of phylogenetic tree to appear as subplot and not as a new figure?

I want to add a phylogenetic tree I created to already existing figure as a subplot. However, this doesn't work and it keeps on opening a new figure. Any suggestions? Thank you.

        f = figure('units','normalized','outerposition',[0 0 1 1]);
        subplot(2,1,1)
        plot(x,y)

        spd = seqpdist(seqs);
        PhyloTree = seqlinkage(spd);
        subplot(2,1,2)
        plot(PhyloTree)

Unfortunately the code is hard-wired to create a new figure.

You can assign the output of plot() to a variable and then you can use findobj() or get the children of the returned figure to find the axes, and then you can move the contents of the axes and copy its various settings (except OuterPosition) to the existing axes. However, the plot() call also attaches some information as appdata to the figure, so you might not get correct behavior of the moved information.

I see. Thank you for your answer!
