Clone axes

[pantxo diribarne]

Hello list ;

I would like to know if there is a way to clone an axes of a multiple axes figure into an other figure. Suppose I have made a first figure that way :

figure(1)
subplot(2,1,1);
contourf(rand(10,10));
subplot(2,1,2);
plot(1:10);

... and I would like to clone the subplot(2,1,1) axes into another figure. Is there a way to do that?
