i didn;t get you.

delete(findobj('Type', 'axes'))

it will delete specified object. i want to clear entire figure accept menu options.

[Walter Roberson]

What does "menu items" mean to you? Does it mean specifically uimenu or does it include uicontrol and uipanel and uitab and uitable?

[ARYA NAYAK]

creation of menus using menu editor in gui.

Like I said, if you want to totally clear the figure you can delete it and then call figure. Then call the uimenu() function and recreate your menus. Then you should have a blank figure except for your menus. Did you try it?

[ARYA NAYAK]

delete figure deletes all the items. it will delete menu items too.

i already did coding for menus.

deleting and recreating of menus does creation of menus itself not previously coded programs. it won't works when deleting figure and creating one more time.

You already have lines of code to create menus, so what's the problem in using it again?

I don't know what you mean by previously coded programs. If you have a GUI made with GUIDE you wouldn't want to do that, but if you built all your controls manually with uicontrol, uimenu, uitable, etc. then it's easy to just blow away the figure, recreate it, and add the menu again. I don't know why you say it won't work. See my other answer with the demo.

What if you just delete it and recreate it:

hFig = figure();
% Now put stuff on it with uicontrol()
% Your code goes here.....
% Now clear them away by deleting and recreating a blank figure.
delete(hFig);
hFig = figure();

Try this demo:

% Create a new figure.
hFig = figure('MenuBar','None');
% Create menu
mh = uimenu(hFig,'Label','Find'); 
frh = uimenu(mh,'Label','Find and Replace ...',...
            'Callback','disp(''goto'')');
frh = uimenu(mh,'Label','Variable');                 
uimenu(frh,'Label','Name...', ...
          'Callback','disp(''variable'')');
uimenu(frh,'Label','Value...', ...
          'Callback','disp(''value'')');
% Now put other stuff on it with uicontrol()
% Your code goes here.....
plot(1:10);
uiwait(msgbox('Click OK to clear figure'));
% Now clear them away by deleting and recreating a blank figure.
delete(hFig);
hFig = figure();
% Create menu
mh = uimenu(hFig,'Label','Find'); 
frh = uimenu(mh,'Label','Find and Replace ...',...
            'Callback','disp(''goto'')');
frh = uimenu(mh,'Label','Variable');                 
uimenu(frh,'Label','Name...', ...
          'Callback','disp(''variable'')');
uimenu(frh,'Label','Value...', ...
          'Callback','disp(''value'')');

How to access this function in code.

Function menu_callback(source, event, handles)

frh = uimenu(mh,'Label','Find and Replace ...',... 'Callback','disp(''goto'')'); frh = uimenu(mh,'Label','Variable'); uimenu(frh,'Label','Name...', ... 'Callback','disp(''variable'')'); uimenu(frh,'Label','Value...', ... 'Callback','disp(''value'')');

How to access this function.

I called it as

MENU;

BUT specified function not working.

[Walter Roberson]

Remove the "Function menu_callback" line that you have. Replace it with

function MENU

now you can call it as

MENU

[Image Analyst]

ARYA, it looks like you're using GUIDE, so why don't you just use the menu editor icon in GUIDE to create a menu and put code into its callback?
