MATLAB: GUI Handles

guiguidehandle

I am trying to make a multi windowed GUI I am using the function setappdata(…) to pass information between the two GUI. I do not want to use the root ('0') to store the data because I dont know what will happen if I want to create an executable of the GUI. When I use the handle of the main window called POWERMODEL to get the data in the subgui it plots the data I am trying to plot in the main gui window

PV = getappdata(0, 'PV'); plot(PV.signals.values(:,1),PV.signals.values(:,2)) axis([0 0.6 0 0.5])

I can think of two workaround 1) figure out how to reset the default handle to the subgui 2) tell plot to plot to the proper place

Can someone tell me how to do it either way

Your two work arounds are right on. When you create the axis you want to plot into (possibly with subplot), it will return a handle ...

hax = subplot(2,2,1);

You need to save this handle (hax) into the app data. Then you can either call (your solution 1)

axes(hax)
plot(x, y)

or (your solution 2)

plot(hax, x, y)

Valarie - your line of code

 open('help01.fig');

just opens or displays the figure corresponding to the GUI but does not perform any of the initializations that would occur when launching the GUI correctly. Replace this callback with just

 function pushbutton16_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
 help01;

to launch the GUI when pressing this pushbutton 16. Note also, that if you want to show the image when the help GUI launches, you must put that command in the OpeningFcn of your GUI (not the pushbutton 5 unless you intend the image to load when the user presses this button).

You need to put a static text label on your GUI with a tag of txtValue (or whatever you want). Then in each callback where you want to change handles.value you need to have this:

handles.value = handles.value + 80; % Or whatever value you want.
handles.txtValue.String = sprintf('The Value now = %.1f', handle.value);
% Update handles structure
guidata(hObject, handles); % Not calling this was your problem.
