Save axes plot as '.fig' in a GUI

I have a GUI in which one an axes is located with a plot and I would like to save this axes as '.fig' file. I have tried with :
[FileName,PathName] = uiputfile;
saveDataName = fullfile(PathName,FileName);
axes(handles.Graph1_axes);
saveas(gca, saveDataName, 'fig');
But this commands save all the GUI interface as '.fig'. Any help will be welcome.
Thanks in advance!

The FIG format contains the complete figure (as the name says already). If you want to save a single axes only and definitely want the FIG format, you can copy the axes to a new figure:
Fig1 = figure;
AxesH = axes;
plot(1:10, rand(10,10));
Fig2 = figure;
copyobj(AxesH, Fig2);
hgsave(Fig2, 'myFigure.fig');

You can't directly save just the axes. Instead, use export_fig with the cropping option

I agree. I think it would be a better idea to save the axes as a .PNG file (a widely used lossless compression format) rather than a .fig file. Then the picture will be available to any program, not just MATLAB.
Actually Im already using 'export_fig' to save the picture in .png format, but I would like to save also in .fig in order to make future changes on labels, legends... and 'export_fig' has not this option. Any idea how to make it?
What about using hgsave directly.
copyobj doesn't work for axes with multiple coordinated system. what should i do?
