MATLAB: Does MATLAB open the figure without the camera toolbar

Why does MATLAB open my figure without the camera toolbar?

When I save my figure in MATLAB with the camera toolbar activated and then open the saved figure in MATLAB, the figure window appears without the camera toolbar.

Is there a way I can save my figure in MATLAB and have it open with the camera toolbar activated.

Best Answer

Currently, there is no feature in MATLAB that will let you open a saved figure such that the camera toolbar is still active.

As a workaround, you can use the CAMERATOOLBAR function to create a new camera toolbar after loading your saved Figure in MATLAB. To create a camera toolbar in the figure window, just type the following at the MATLAB command prompt:

cameratoolbar

For more information about how you may use the above function, please type the following at the MATLAB command prompt:

help cameratoolbar

MATLAB: Are the zoom callbacks of the figure not restored when I save and reopen the figure in MATLAB 7.8 (R2009a)

The ability to save zoom callbacks as part of the figure file is not available in MATLAB.

To work around this issue, you can use the "CreateFcn" callback (which is saved by the figure). We can use this callback to create the zoom callback automatically every time the figure is created.

Consider the following code:

      f = figure;
      plot(1:10)
      set(f,'CreateFcn','z = zoom(gcf);set(z,''ActionPostCallback'',''TMWtest'')')

This code will automatically set the zoom callback "ActionPostCallback" to call "TMWtest.m", and this will happen every time the figure is opened.

MATLAB: How to disable the Zoom buttons in the figure toolbar

You can use the UISUSPEND command to suspend all the interactive properties of a figure. For more this function type:

help uisuspend

at the MATLAB command prompt.

To disable only the Zoom In and Zoom Out buttons in the figure toolbar, you can use the following code according to your version of MATLAB.:

For MATLAB 6.5 (R13) and MATLAB 6.5.1 (R13SP1):

figure_handle=figure(1)
handles=findall(figure_handle,'type','uitoggletool'); 
index=logical(strcmp(get(handles,'Tag'),'figToolZoomOut')+strcmp(get(handles,'Tag'),'figToolZoomIn')); 
zoom_handles=handles(index); 
set(zoom_handles,'enable','off');

For MATLAB 7.0 (R14) and later

Beginning in MATLAB 7.0 (R14) the "Tag" properties of the Zoom In and Zoom Out buttons changed as illustrated below.

figure_handle=figure(1)
handles=findall(figure_handle,'type','uitoggletool'); 
index=logical(strcmp(get(handles,'Tag'),'Exploration.ZoomOut')+strcmp(get(handles,'Tag'),'Exploration.ZoomIn')); 
zoom_handles=handles(index); 
set(zoom_handles,'enable','off');
