MATLAB: Prevent script from execution until a condition is met. please!

callbackclosefunction

I have designed a simple gui. This gui has a question and a Yes and a No answer. I want my script to pause when I call the gui and resume when the gui finishes executing. My gui is the following:
function handles = GUI(currfig)
g.fh = figure('units','pixels',...
'position',[300 300 350 100],...
'menubar','none',...
'Color','w',...
'name','Busbar Length Correction',...
'numbertitle','off',...
'resize','off',...
'Interruptible','off');
g.sub=annotation('textbox',...
'units','pixels',...
'position',[0 0 350 100],...
'Tag','box',...
'Color',[58 51 153]/255,...
'BackgroundColor','none',...
'String','Delete the plot?',...
'Fontsize',14,...
'FaceAlpha',0,...
'EdgeColor', [112 112 112]/255);
g.bg = uibuttongroup('units','pix',...
'pos',[0 0 350 50],...
'BorderType','line',...
'ForegroundColor','w');
g.rd(1) = uicontrol(g.bg,...
'style','push',...
'unit','pix',...
'position',[180 15 70 22],...
'Fontsize',8,...
'string','Yes');
g.rd(2) = uicontrol(g.bg,...
'style','push',...
'unit','pix',...
'position',[260 15 70 22],...
'Fontsize',8,...
'string','No');
get(g.fh)
set(g.rd,'callback',{@hide,g,currfig});
function hide(varargin)
g = varargin{3};
str=[get(g.rd(1),'val'),get(g.rd(2),'val')];
if str(1)==1
set(findobj('Tag','plota'),'visible','off')
st='yes';
else
set(findobj('Tag','plota'),'visible','on')
st='no';
end
assignin('base','st',st)
close(g.fh)
and my script is the following.
h1=figure(1);
x=0:1:10;
s1=(x>=0 & x<=5);
s2=(x>5 & x<=10);
y(s1)=2.*x(s1)+5;
y(s2)=-2.*x(s2)+25;
figure(1);
hold all
a=plot(x(s1),y(s1),'color',[0 0.5 0]);
b=plot(x(s2),y(s2),'color',[0 0 1]);
% handlesa=get(findobj('Color', [0 0 1]));
set(findobj('Color', [0 0 1]),'Tag','plota');
set(findobj('Color', [0 0.5 0]),'Tag','plotb');
set(h1,'position',[13 715 180 101]);
GUI_(h1);
a=8;
I want to assign to the workspace the variable st as you see in the gui before the script executes the command:
a=8;
How difficult can it be????

"I want my script to pause"
  • uiwait, Block program execution and wait to resume
Look up uiwait in the documentation.
