Why when using 'setappdata' in Appdesigner do I have to store it in a figure? Can I store it someplace else?

In appdesigner, when trying to share variables among callbacks I supposedly have to use 'setappdata', however the documentation isn't very clear and I can't understand the full purpose of storing it in a 'figure'.
When I run the code I have a figure window pop up that I don't want.
Can someone please explain the 'setappdata' function to me simply?

With the setappdata you are storing data somewhere in RAM, linking it to a graphics object.
f=uifigure;
setappdata(f,'foo','bar')%use a handle to your uifigure, not figure
getappdata(f,'foo')
Every time you (re)create the graphics objects the appdata starts out empty. If you try to retrieve a nonexistent Name, you will either get an error (as the doc seems to suggest), or an empty array (as my copy of R2019a does).
The purpose is to have specific properties stored with the graphics object they are connected with. That means you can store data separately for each axes in your GUI, or for separate instances of your GUI.
