MATLAB: Question on tabbed plots.

matlab guiuitab

i have three tabs in my figure… something like H1 = uitab(tgp,'Title','Micrograph'); H2 = uitab(tgp,'Title','Histograms'); H3 = uitab(tgp,'Title','Original_MG');

Is there a way to show the current tab automatically without user clicking on the tab. For e.g. I have plots in tabs H1, and H2. Now the open tab is say H1. Now i try to plot something in H3. it is hidden until the user clicks on table H3 titled "Original_MG'.

uitabgroup has a SelectedTab property which allows you to query the currently selected tab but also to change the currently selected tab. See doc

tgp.SelectedTab = H3;

You can set it using SelectedTab of the uitabgroup:

tg = uitabgroup;
tt(1) = uitab('Parent',tg);
tt(2) = uitab('Parent',tg);
tt(3) = uitab('Parent',tg);
tg.SelectedTab = tt(2);

The easiest way is to put the panel outside of the area covered by the tabs.

Otherwise, you can either put a copy of the panel on every tab, or you can arrange to have the SelectionChangedFcn of the uitabgroup set the parent of the panel to be the current tab, which would move it from whichever tab it was at, into the current tab.
