MATLAB: How to abort an operation/calculation (using Mac)

abort

Just started a too heavy calculation, esc doesn't seem to abort this, how do I stop it?

thanks

Control c

In some cases, if you do something really dumb, it will take a while to get the attention of MATLAB. In that case, get some coffee. Relax until it wakes up.

If you did something really obscenely huge by accident, you can always do a force quit on MATLAB. (Like I've never had to do that.)

MATLAB: Abort roipoly in GUIDE

I've only really used impoly, imroi and similar before myself. They actually return an object representing the active polygon which can be deleted, etc when required.

Even there though I tend to use a push button that I have to press if I want to draw on my image. Then only under the pushbutton does an impoly get created to draw on the image. Pressing 'Esc' can then cancel this if I change my mind.

So now having looked at roipoly, pressing 'Esc' seems to cancel this too so you probably can still do it under your slider callback rather than needing a separate button and just press Esc on a slice where you do not wish to actually draw.

MATLAB: Index in position 1 is invalid. Array indices must be positive integers or logical values.

Here is something fishy.

sigma = func2(t,x,sigma_x,func1(kc,t))
...
function sigma = func2(t,M,sigma_M,func1)

If you want to pass the output of func2 as an input to func1 that's ok, but do not name the output func1. This confusion causes func1 to be interpreted as a variable, which is why you get this error. You can pass the function as an argument like you do, but you need to name the variable used in func2 something other than func1.

What you do is similar to writing:

func1 = func1(arg1,arg2)

func1 is now a variable, so the next time you call it it will be interpreted as such.
