Saving two GUI figures in one MAT file

Hi all,

I am currently saving a single GUI window/figure as a .MAT file (e.g. results_GUI_1)

I use:

• Uiputfile,
• Create a full path,
• Save the handles structure.

This enables me to open the results_GUI_1 window as I left it, without running time consuming code.

I have developed the GUI further though, and now there is another window of results called from the first (call it results_GUI_2). How can I save both in ONE .mat file?

I was intending to:

• Call results_GUI_2, but set 'Visible' off
• Save it as a seperate .mat file.
• When results_GUI_1 is loaded by the user, load the results_GUI_2, again, with 'Visible' off
• Make results_GUI_2 visible when the user presses the button on results_GUI_1 that brings up results_GUI_2 figure.

But it seems messy... i'm sure there must be a better way.

Thanks in advance,

Matt

Have you considered using save(FILENAME, ..., '-append') ? This appends the data to the .mat file instead of creating a new one with a new file name

No, I haven't.

Thank you, I will look into that later today and see what I can do.

In the meantime, any more suggestions would be very welcome!
