Using fminsearch I want to plot the model function whose parameters I'm fitting at each iteration without the figure window stealing focus. How do I do this?

Stop invoking whatever command it is (figure(), axes() ?) that you are using to bring the figure into focus. Calling the plot command alone would not be responsible for whatever it is you are seeing. It will not shift focus to the figure.

Not invoking figure() results in plotting to a new figure. But how do I plot to the same figure that I produced before invoking fminsearch?

[Matt J]

You can pass an axes handle to designate where you want data plotted,
