Changing the parameters of a graph by GUI

Hello everyone, I want to develop a GUI with which I can change the title, X-Axis and Y-Axis labelling of the figure named 'trial_for_graphic'. I want to change the title, xlabel and the ylabel of the same figure. However, when I run the code (given below),it generates a different window figure for every option. So, I cannot change the title, xlabel and ylabel in the same figure window. Can anyone please tell me as to how I can change the three parameters in the same figure window ?

val = get(handles.popupmenu_select_parameter,'Value');

string = get(handles.popupmenu_select_parameter,'string');

string2 = get(handles.edit1,'string');

open('trial_for_graphic.fig')

switch val

      case 2 

        title(string2)

     case 3

       xlabel(string2)

    case 4

        ylabel(string2)

end

before entering the switch case you open the figure window like this;

figure; switch val

      case 2
        hold on 
        title(string2)
     case 3
        hold on
       xlabel(string2)
    case 4
        hold on
        ylabel(string2)
end

Hi Venkat, I tried the code, as you suggested. However, it still opens different window for each change.

same code working fine in my system can you tell me what exactly have to do

Well, what I want to do is that I want to change the parameters of the graph, one by one. So, when I change the title by choosing 'title' from the GUI popupmenu, the title of the trail_for_gui.fig is changed, in the figure1 window. When I now select the xlabel option from GUI popupmenu, it should change the xlabel of trial_for_figure.fig in the same windoe (i.e figure1). However, when I run my code, it opens another window (figure2) and then changes the xlabel. So, I have two windows of same graph, one with its title changed and the other with its xlabel changed.

switch val

      case 2
        hold on 
        title(string2)
        hold off
     case 3
        hold on
       xlabel(string2)
        hold off
    case 4
        hold on
        ylabel(string2)
        hold off
end

check it this code also

i have created some example gui check this.

% --- Executes on button press in pushbutton1. function pushbutton1_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles) % hObject handle to pushbutton1 (see GCBO) % eventdata reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB % handles structure with handles and user data (see GUIDATA) hold on h=title('hhhh');

% --- Executes on button press in pushbutton2. function pushbutton2_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles) % hObject handle to pushbutton2 (see GCBO) % eventdata reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB % handles structure with handles and user data (see GUIDATA) hold on xlabel('hhhhhhhghgf');

% --- Executes on button press in pushbutton3. function pushbutton3_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles) % hObject handle to pushbutton3 (see GCBO) % eventdata reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB % handles structure with handles and user data (see GUIDATA) hold on ylabel('hhhhhhhghgfgjjg');

i didn't quite understand the above answer. However, I am using popupmenu and not pushbuttons.

[Harshal]

I am using MATLAB 7.2. Does this have anything to do with the code that you gave in the first answer. (which works in your MATLAB, but not in my)

i'm working in 2011b its working fine.
