MATLAB: Bring Figure to main GUI and take control over that figure

bring figure to main gui and take control over that figureMATLAB

Hi,

I am one matlab GUI and some callback function. This callback function opens multiple figure when i perfrom some operation on the gui.

I would like to copy one figure to the GUI and take control over that copied figure ?

could you please do help me to guide here or can you please do write a code for me with examples.

thank you

If you wants to plot your data on GUI, you have to write the code in callback of some button from where you can control the fig. Or else you can write your code in the opening function of gui.

MATLAB: Continues update of figure with new data entered mannually from GUI

Welcome to the wonderous world of GUIs :)

You can label your figures. Normalized units can be changed to pixels, inches, centimeters etc. and you change the backmost numbers accordingly.

Then, when you plot something in your function, state which figure to update by calling the figure label. You can add as many figures into the same GUI as you want, and as long as you give them different "names", you can easily specify when to update what.

MYGUI=figure('toolbar','figure','MenuBar','none','Name','Sample GUI','NumberTitle','off','Color',[0.85 0.85 0.85],'Units', 'points','Position',[10 , 0, 1135  , 530   ]);
%This labels your GUI, and its name is now "MYGUI". 
%That way, you define the figure "MyFigure" to belong to the "MYGUI" parent. 
MyFigure = axes('Parent', MYGUI,'Units', 'normalized','HandleVisibility','callback','Position',[0.05,0.50,0.42,0.10]);
%And now, make a plot, add a legend, and label the y-axis on the figure you just labelled "MyFigure". 
plot(MyFigure,x_data1,y_data1,'r-',x_data2,y_data2,'b-');
lgnd1=legend(MyFigure,'Sample data 1','Sample data 2','Location','SouthWest');
ylabel(MyFigure,'This label goes on "MyFigure"','FontSize',11,'Interpreter','latex');

MATLAB: How to copy a graph from a figure window to an axis within a GUI

Haitham - Consider using copyobj which will allow you to copy a graphics object from one parent to another. Suppose you have the following figure which displays a single axes with the sine curve drawn on it

 figure;
 x = linspace(-2*pi,2*pi,500);
 y = sin(x);
 hCurve = plot(x,y,'r');

So we create a figure and draw the sine curve to it. The output from plot is a handle to the graphics object, and is saved to hCurve.

In a second figure we create the figure and two sup lots

 figure;
 hSub1 = subplot(2,1,1);
 hSub2 = subplot(2,1,2);

hSub1 and hSub2 are handles to the axes of each subplot. We then copy the curve to the first axes as

 copyobj(hCurve,hSub1);

And we see that the sine curve has been copied over.

You can do something similar starting with your fig_i handle. Since it is a handle to a figure, then you want to first get the handle to the axes on that figure (let's assume that you just have the one axes). You can do this as

 hFigIAxes = findobj('Parent',fig_i,'Type','axes');

So the above searches for any graphics object whose parent is the handle fig_i and whose type is axes. We then can copy the axes children (which are the graphics objects drawn on it) to the subplot

 if ~isempty(hFigIAxes)
     hAxes = hFigIAxes(1);  % assume just the one axes
     copyobj(get(hAxes,'Children'),hSub1);
 end

Try the above and see what happens!
