Error using subplot, cannot set property to a deleted object

Hi

I am wanting to plot two figures side by side.

I am wanting to plot the output of sliceViewer from a 3d object that I have and this is what I have attempted

figure(2);
subplot(1,2,1)
sliceViewer(G1,'Colormap',cmap);
subplot(1,2,2)
sliceViewer(G2,'Colormap',cmap);

Which gives me this error

Error using axes
Cannot set property to a deleted object

Error in subplot (line 602)
        ax = axes('Units', 'normalized', 'Position', position, ...

Error in Deconvolve3d2 (line 94)
subplot(1,2,2)

I think it is something to do with how sliceViewer displays its outputs and it is somhow deleting the axes for the subplot

Thanks

Aidan - are you hoping to display the sliceViewer in the subplot? Is that why you call it after subplot? Can you confirm that when the sliceViewer is visible that the initial figure (with subplot) is deleted?

Yes I am trying to create a plot with the two outputs of sliceViewers being shown next to each other.

When I try to run this I am unable to see either sliceViewer output and I get an error.

It does give the impression that sliceViewer is deleting the figure, or that the "current figure" is being left at something that is deleted.

sliceViewer deletes the axes of its parents, so you cannot put it into a subplot.

However, sliceViewer can be put into a uipanel. Therefore you can create a uipanel beside your other graphics axes, and specify the uipanel by passing the 'Parent' option to sliceViewer()
