how can I plot inset of a new plot in a few of my subplots (say ha(1) and ha(3))?

I am using subplot

[ha, pos]= tight_subplot(2,3,[.1 .08],[.16 .04],[.09 .025]);

I want to add inset in a few of the plots say ha(1) and ha(3). I know that I should use

axes.('Position',[.5 .5 .2 .2]); box on;

But how shall i connect that to the ha(1) and ha(3) i.e. to a specific plot inside subplot.Thanks.

No, you have to set the Position of the inset axes relative to the parent figure. You can't set it w.r.t. another axes. So, you would have to map ha(i) position coordinates into parent figure position coordinates.

This FEX submission claims to be able to do the work for you,

though I haven't used it myself.
