Use copyUIAxes() to copy plots in AppDesigner or any UIAxes onto regular axes which can be easily saved, printed, or modified.

copyUIAxes copies all children and most properties of a UIAxes to regular axes. If the UIAxes has a legend or colorbar, they can be recreated in the new axes, too.

copyUIAxes(ax) creates a new figure and copies the UIAxes (ax) content to the new figure.

copyUIAxes(ax, destination) copies the UIAxes to the destination which can be a figure or axis handle.

copyUIAxes(ax, 'copyPosition', true) will copy the position properties so the copied axes have the same position relative to the figure as the UIAxes or App.

See the file's help section and the demo document for other optional inputs and demos.

--------------------------------Notes--------------------------------
In r2020a Matlab released exportgraphics() and copygraphics() which can be used to copy uiaxes and uifigures which makes parts of copyUIAxes() obsolete.
