How to adding a plot to existing plot
I have a base plot in which I would like to add a smaller version of a second plot/figure ontop of the base plot at a certain location. The second plot (or figure) is already saved as a .fig file. How do I import the .fig file and its data and plot it as is but smaller (so it fits inside the base plot without hiding base plot data) onto the base plot?

plot(1:5,11:15,'rx','markersize',12);
hold on
plot(1.5:4.5,12:15,'bo','markersize',12);
ch = get(gca,'children');
x1 = get(ch(1),'xdata');
y1 = get(ch(1),'ydata');
x2 = get(ch(2),'xdata');
y2 = get(ch(2),'ydata');
axes('pos',[.6 .2 .25 .25])
plot(x1,y1,'rp-')
hold on
plot(x2,y2,'bs-')
