MATLAB: Can i save plottool configuration

graphMATLABplotplottool

Can i save the plottools changes I make? for example if I change the color of a plot using plottool, how can i save it in order to have the same change when i run my program again?

Hi Saleh,

Once you change all the plot preferences that you would like (ex: color, font, etc), if you navigate to the "File" menu, there is an option to "Generate code". This will generate a function (by default called 'createfigure', although you can change the name to whatever you would like) that saves all your preferences for you so that the next time you are using that plot call, you can call that function instead.

Hope this helps!

What is "last"? The last one before closing the Matlab session? The position of a dialog before closing?

For the later you can define the CloseRequestFcn and DeletFcn such that "get(FigureHandle, 'Position')" is used to get the position and store it in the format you want.

MATLAB: How to make the program more flexible

Here's a function that places an M x N grid of Xs within a rectangle defined by pos, as well as a few lines which use that function to create your frames.

M = 8; % "\" pattern and "/" pattern (column)
N = 8; %"\" pattern and "/" pattern (Row)
Mg = 2; % Frame size (column)
Ng = 2; % Frame size (Row)
ax = axes('NextPlot', 'add',...
    'XTick', [],...
    'YTick', []);
for ii = 1:Mg
    for jj = 1:Ng
        pos = [ii, jj, 1, 1];
        fillSquareWithXs(ax, pos, M, N)
    end
end
function fillSquareWithXs(ax, pos, M, N)
    % ax - target axes
    % pos - position of square, [llx, lly, width, height]
    % M - # of rows of Xs
    % N - # of cols of Xs
    
    % find location, width, and height of each X
    xco = linspace(pos(1), pos(1)+pos(3), M+1);
    yco = linspace(pos(2), pos(2)+pos(4), N+1);
    dx = diff(xco)/2;
    dy = diff(yco)/2;
    xco = xco(1:end-1) + dx;
    yco = yco(1:end-1) + dy;
    % plot Xs
    for q = xco
        for w = yco
            plot(ax,q+[dx/2 -dx/2],w+[-dy/2 dy/2],'r') % "\" pattern
            plot(ax,q+[dx/2 -dx/2],w+[dy/2 -dy/2],'b') % "/" pattern
        end
    end
    
    % plot borders
    plot([pos(1), pos(1)], [pos(2), pos(2)+pos(4)], 'k', 'LineWidth', 2);
    plot([pos(1), pos(1)+pos(3)], [pos(2)+pos(4), pos(2)+pos(4)], 'k', 'LineWidth', 2);
    plot([pos(1), pos(1)+pos(3)], [pos(2), pos(2)], 'k', 'LineWidth', 2);
    plot([pos(1)+pos(3), pos(1)+pos(3)], [pos(2), pos(2)+pos(4)], 'k', 'LineWidth', 2);
end
