MATLAB: Is it possible to import .mat files into AppDesigner

appappdesignerdesignerguiimportloadmat

I have created a Software GUI using App Designer. It however is computer intensive. To speed things up I would like the to import pre-calculated data using the specified inputs in the GUI. Is there any way of loading .mat files into App Designer?

Best Answer

Sure. You can insert a load() into your callback, at least to load data and objects.

If your intent is to load graphics objects, or design components (such as to load ui parts dynamically) then the answer might end up being different.

MATLAB: Imshow in appdesigner

The ability to show images is new in R2016b, so you need to be on that release.

You use imshow by explicitly parenting to the uiaxes.

imshow('cameraman.tif','Parent',app.UIAxes)

There are two possibilities:

a) create a new "Tab" in your existing GUI with uitab

b) just call the other Gui in the button press function like you would call any script or function.

c) About passing data or variables.

You could pass the variables directly (depending on how your GUI is written)
Please DON'T use global variables to share the content
Use "setappdata" instead
Or write your data to a temporary *.mat file that you load in the second GUI
It might be possible to nest the second GUI within the first one, although I'm not 100% sure if this will work.
if all else fails use "assignin" and send the vars to base workspace
