MATLAB: Time to run a program

time

Hi,

I have a program running since yesterday. I am wondering if there is a way to test and approximate how much time a program should take to finish because i am wondering what if it keeps on running for ages.

If your program runs a loop:

you can print at which iteration it is with disp
or you can use waitbar (but unless they improved its performance it's gonna slow you down a bit)
or use one of the many ASCII waitbar submissions (won't impact on the program as much as a graphical bar)

Usual methods:

A progressbar, e.g. WAITBAR - this allows the user to estimate the remaining time
UICONTROL('Style', 'Text', 'String', 'Please wait');
Have you seen the "Busy" message in the bottom left of Matlab's command window while the program is running?
Set the window title, which allows the user to see the progres state in the taskbar:

FigH = figure('NumberTitle', 'off');
set(FigH, 'Name', 'My program: RUNNING...');
drawnow;
...
set(FigH, 'Name', 'My program');
drawnow;

MATLAB: Waitbar won’t close

Use:

delete(h.waitbar);

instead of

close(h.waitbar);

Basically what happens is that when you set the CreatCancelBtn property this also sets the CloseRequestFcn to the same thing. Thus calling CLOSE only sets the appdata to the figure.
