MATLAB: Transition between tabs/ screens in GUI

guiMATLAB

Hi Everyone,

I've created quite a big (for me at least…) GUI. I'm using the undocumented uitab feature and then below that there are panels that are hidden or made visible to give an extra layer of screen switching. My question is this: When the user switches screens or opens up the GUI the buttons, axes, tables etc jump around and appear on the wrong screen for a second or two before it all settles down. Is there some way of stopping this happening? I'm writing the GUI myself rather than using GUIDE because the screen switching stuff I'm doing isn't possible in GUIDE (I am however laying out the individual screens in GUIDE and then exporting them but I don't see that this can be the cause). It's not the end of the world but it would be nice to stop it happening if there's an easy fix!

Thanks,

Pete

set() the panel visibility off while you make changes to it, then set() it on once the changes are finished: this will cause everything to render at the same time.

MATLAB: Figure window transitions (screen transitions – GUI design)

After a long research work, I have found a reasonable answer which was nearest to that I thought. If you type in "splash screen" in the File Exchange browser, you have some interesting applications designed specifically to it. I have chosen splash.m. With respect to the smooth transition, I have used these programs: WindowAPI and maximize. The written code looks like this:

    logoh = splash('logo.jpg');% Appear the logo image
    fh = figure('Visible','on','Name','MyGUI','Position',[-1000,-1000,...
    1000,500],'Menu','none','Toolbar','none','NumberTitle','off');
    % Put the figure window outside the screen (see Position property) because
    % its visibility is on
    WindowAPI(fh,'Alpha',0);% Make the figure window invisible
    ...
    movegui(fh,'center');% Move the figure window to center
    maximize(fh);% Maximize it
    WindowAPI(fh,'Alpha',1); % Make the figure window visible totally
    pause(2); % time during which the logo image is exposed
    splash(logoh,'off');% Disappear the logo image

MATLAB: Hopefully simple UIButtonGroup question

After the code execution set off by pushing a radio button, add the code:

set(get(handles.uipanel1, 'SelectedObject'), 'Value', 0);

From a user interface point, it looks like you would be better served by plain old push buttons. Radio buttons in a panel operate like switches - once it's on, to come back to "on" state, it has to be in "off" state first.
