MATLAB: How to programmatically reset the state of the figure’s toolbar in MATLAB 7.8 (R2009b)

MATLABresettoolbaruitoggletooluitoolbar

I have programmed a GUI and at a certain state of the GUI I would like to programmatically reset all the toolbar buttons to the 'off' state.

Best Answer

We recommend the following set of commands to programmatically reset the state of the figure toolbar.

If the figure handle is assigned to the variable 'f' (this would likely be handles.figure1 for a GUIDE GUI), then the following commands should reset the toolbar:

pan(f,'off')
zoom(f,'off')
rotate3d(f,'off')
datacursormode(f,'off')
brush(f,'off')

Please note that low-level commands that manipulate the state of the toolbar buttons can result in unstable GUI behavior and are not recommended for direct use.

MATLAB: Does the right-click context menu appear at the bottom of the figure instead of at the mouse pointer location when zoom is enabled in MATLAB 7.0.1 (R14SP1)

This bug has been fixed in MATLAB 7.0.4 (R14SP2). For previous releases, please read below for possible workarounds:

We have verified that there is a bug in MATLAB 7.0.1 (R14SP1) in the way that context menus are displayed in some GUIs when right-clicking on the axes with zoom is enabled.

To work around this issue make the following changes to zoom.m:

1. Open zoom.m by typing the following at the command line:

edit zoom

2. Rename zoom.m to zoom_old.m in case there is a problem and you need to revert to the original version.

3. Make the following modification to zoom.m around line 327

After the call to

hui = localGetContextMenu(hZoom);

Replace the following three lines:

set(hui,... 
       'Position',get(hFigure,'CurrentPoint'),...
       'Visible','on')

with the following four lines:

curr_point = get(hFigure,'CurrentPoint'); 
curr_pixel = hgconvertunits(hFigure,[curr_point 0 0],... 
get(hFigure,'Units'),'pixels',hFigure); 
set(hui,'Position',curr_pixel(1:2),'Visible','on')

4. Restart MATLAB

5. Execute the following command at the MATLAB command prompt:

MATLAB: Figure’s ‘WindowButtonUpFcn’ gets ‘overridden’

Hi,

without trying, I guess you are nearly there: I would move the set(fHandle, 'WindowButtonUpFcn',@stopDrag) call into the startDrag function. This way you would always have the correct stopDrag for each individual plot, just like you do with the motion function...
