MATLAB: Duplicating a GUIDE created GUI to a new name and new folder

copyguide

Hello, I have a matlab GUI created in guide (so have myProgram1.m and myProgram1.fig) in a certain directory.

I would like to copy this to a new name (i.e. myProgram2.m and myProgram2.fig) and place in a new directory and have no link to the previous one.

What is the suggested way to do this

Thanks

Jason

The suggested way is to open myProgram1 in GUIDE, and tell GUIDE to Save As to the new location.

Do not just copy and rename: the .m and .fig for myProgram1 contain references to myProgram1 . You could edit the source myProgram2 to change the references there, but that would not change the .fig file.

MATLAB: Does anyone have a Matlab code that would delete part of filenames in many directories

Given a filename

newfilename = regexprep(filename, '000000_', '');

The rest is just finding files and copyfile()

The below needs R2016b or later

projectdir = 'RawData';
outdir = fullfile(projectdir, 'Renamed');
if ~exist(outdir, 'dir'); mkdir(outdir); end
dinfo = dir( fullfile(projectdir, 'Cell*', '*.dat') );
fullnames = fullfile( {dinfo.folder}, {dinfo.name} );
for K = 1 : length(fullnames)
    thisfile = fullnames{K};
    [fulldir, basename, ext] = fileparts(thisfile);
    [parentdir, basedir] = fileparts(fulldir);
    newfilename = [regexprep(basename, '000000_', '', 'once'), ext];
    newdir = fullfile(outdir, basedir);
    if ~exist(newdir, 'dir'); mkdir(newdir); end
    newfilename = fullfile(newdir, newfilename);
    copyfile(thisfile, newfilename)
end

MATLAB: Save axes plot as ‘.fig’ in a GUI

The FIG format contains the complete figure (as the name says already). If you want to save a single axes only and definitely want the FIG format, you can copy the axes to a new figure:

Fig1 = figure;
AxesH = axes;
plot(1:10, rand(10,10));
Fig2 = figure;
copyobj(AxesH, Fig2);
hgsave(Fig2, 'myFigure.fig');
