MATLAB: “hold on” equivalent in GUIDE

guidehandles.axeshold onMATLAB

Hello all,

When I update my plot in GUIDE, the imline lines that were previously defined disappear. Is there a way to make them permanent by using an equivalent of "hold on"? Or do I have to re-plot, everything, every time I change something to my plot? Thank you in advance!

Just to clarify, I had my imline plotted on some axes, then I would plot an image on these axes, and my imline would "disappear". It turns out that it was still there, only hidden behind the image.

Adding something like

uistack(imline_handle,'top')

solved it!

Thank you all for your help!

Put each of the plots inside its own uipanel. Then to switch the plots, set the Parent property of the plot objects to be the other uipanel. Watch out for legend and colorbar as they are independent axes, not part of the axes like they appear to be.

Example:

set(handles.axes1, 'Parent', handles.uipanel2);
set(handles.axes2, 'Parent', handles.uipanel1);
drawnow();

   hold on

The above command allows you to plot data to your current axes without erasing previously plotted data.

If you have multiple axes, use the following:

   hold(my_axes,'on') %Where my_axes is the handle to your axes

Finally, "hold off" and "hold(my_axes,'off')" return the axes to the default setting, where previously plotted data is erased when you plot new data.
