plot figure in gui guide, to axes

Hi

i want to plot a figure to axes in gui guide, but only the legend is showing and the xlim and ylim is not auto, i goes from 0 to 1 ( but should be auto)

[Ankit]

how you code for plotting looks like?

[polo Mahmoud]

for i=1:length(av(:,1))
% figure
axes(handles.axes13);
plot(t,av(i,:),'k','LineWidth',1.8)
hold on
% figure
plot(t,Acc(VSENS(i),:),'r','LineWidth',0.8)
hold on
% plot(t,zeros(1,length(av(:,1))),'k')
% hold on
% figure
plot(t,ErrorM,'color',[0,0,0]+0.5)
if NX==1
legend('Estimated','Newmark','Error')
elseif NX==2
legend('Estimated','Measured','Error')
    end
grid on
set(gca, 'FontName', 'Times New Roman')
set(gca,'FontSize',18)
set(gcf,'color','w');
ylabel('Acceleration [m/s^2]')
xlabel('Time [s]')
title(['ME FreeDOF ',sprintf('%d',MVSENS(i))])

end

Did you check with the debugger if one of the legend calls actually runs?

It is also better practice to use explicit parent handles whenever working with a GUI.

%so this:
axes(handles.axes13);
plot(t,av(i,:),'k','LineWidth',1.8)
hold on
plot(t,Acc(VSENS(i),:),'r','LineWidth',0.8)
plot(t,ErrorM,'color',[0,0,0]+0.5)
legend('Estimated','Newmark','Error')

%becomes this:
h_plots=plot(t,av(i,:),'k','LineWidth',1.8,...
    'Parent',handles.axes13)
hold(handles.axes13,'on')
h_plots(2)=plot(t,Acc(VSENS(i),:),'r','LineWidth',0.8,...
    'Parent',handles.axes13)
h_plots(3)=plot(t,ErrorM,'color',[0,0,0]+0.5,...
    'Parent',handles.axes13)
legend(h_plots,'Estimated','Newmark','Error')

%or even better:
h_plots=plot(t,av(i,:),'k','LineWidth',1.8,...
    'DisplayName','Estimated',...
    'Parent',handles.axes13)
hold(handles.axes13,'on')
h_plots(2)=plot(t,Acc(VSENS(i),:),'r','LineWidth',0.8,...
    'DisplayName','Newmark',...
    'Parent',handles.axes13)
h_plots(3)=plot(t,ErrorM,'color',[0,0,0]+0.5,...
    'DisplayName','Error',...
    'Parent',handles.axes13)
legend(h_plots)

what i get is this:

hi rik

is says :

Unable to perform assignment because the left and right sides have a different number of elements.

Error in New_gui_polo_26_02>pushbutton28_Callback (line 2063)

None of the code you show is actually changing the axes limits, so you must have done that somewhere else. And did you check what shape data is being plotted? If it is scalar it will not show up.

That is probably also the cause of the error. If no graphics object is created you will get this error. See the MWE below.

figure(1),clf(1)
h=plot(rand(2,1),rand(2,1));
h(2)=plot([],[]);

[polo Mahmoud]

it is vectors that i plot.

and i have checked that both the xlim and ylim is set to auto in gui, but i dont understand

[polo Mahmoud]

i tryied the example code :

figure(1),clf(1)

h=plot(rand(2,1),rand(2,1));

h(2)=plot([],[]);

is says : but i plotted a line

Unable to perform assignment because the left and right sides have a different number of elements.

[Rik]

Exactly. This is the same way in which your code fails as well. And you can even see that in your legend: only black lines, meaning that no other graphics objects are generated, so there is no valid data in your second and third plot call.

[polo Mahmoud]

when i evaluated my gui code from matlab, it gives data for all. but when i run it through gui i gives this error

for the first part when i run my gui is says this

Line

Line

Line

Line

[edit Rik: removed the dozens of repetitions that followed]

[Rik]

If you get a different result when calling it from your GUI, that means the code is different.

[polo Mahmoud]

But I use the function " Evaluate" for the gui .m file it works good

But when i run the gui and uses the "button" to evaluate it gives that error

[Rik]

If the input is the same, the output will be as well. You need to make sure that your GUI calls the function with the same input as when you run the function outside of the context of your GUI.

Hi Rik

do you know why the command window says:

Line

Line

ect...

[Rik]

I forgot to add in the semicolon, because I wrote the code in this editor, so I didn't have mlint to warn me.

h=plot(rand(4,1)) %no ; so returns an output and will display "Line"

If one call to plot generates multiple objects, it will form a vector, so you will get the result you wrote.

[polo Mahmoud]

this is what i get

[polo Mahmoud]

when i evaluate i get this

[Rik]

As I have said before: you need to make sure the input is the same for the two situations. What is the exact input to your function when you run it indepently, and what is the input when you call it from your GUI? Try to make a MWE so we can run your code without any other dependencies and can reproduce your issue. You can attach files with the paperclip icon if needed.

Hi Rik Thank for your help, i Saw that i had made a stupid error.
