MATLAB: GUI Self-Replicating Problem when Radio Button Clicked

guiMATLABradio buttonscript

I am working on a project which requires the user be able to switch between graphs. For ease of use, I am attempting to use Radio Buttons to switch between graphs. In the callbacks for the selection of the radio buttons, I refer to outside scripts rather than placing the entire code within the radio buttons as a means of keeping things simpler. However, instead of running the scripts when a radio button is selected, another window identical to the original GUI opens. I can't figure out why this is and would like very much for the embedded axes to be updated with the desired graph rather than another GUI window open… Any suggestions?

Hard to say without looking at the callback, but it appears that the gui is calling itself. That's about all we can say without seeing the code. Attach the m and fig files if you want more advice.

Regarding your last comment: Who cares? There is a lot of boilerplate code, especially near the beginning of the m-file. Just don't worry about it. Like I said, ignore eventdata and hObject just like you ignore all the boilerplate code at the top of the file. And who cares if you can't put code in the individual callback for a particular radio button. You can do it in the group callback, like the code I gave you:

if get(handles.radioButton1, 'value')
  % Do whatever you want to do if radio button 1 is selected.
elseif get(handles.radioButton2, 'value')
  % Do whatever you want to do if radio button 2 is selected.
end

No, you're not "the first to have auto generated a buttongroup in GUIDE and then needed to call it from a pushbutton." I do it all the time using code like above. It works, so I don't want to get into a philosophical discussion with them about why it should, perhaps, be done in separate, individual callbacks.

When you say " Surely there is some simple work around.", why don't you consider putting your code in the group callback a workaround, or an acceptable workaround? It doesn't do it the way you think it should (separate, individual callbacks), and you don't like the group callback workaround. What kind of other workaround would you like that would be better?

Examine all your external scripts and gui m-file code for the line:

close all;

It sounds like at some point you're calling that.
