[Matlab] User Interface Functions

One easy method for creating a user interface is a question dialog. This can easily be used with the switch function to run different sections of code.

SelectFunction = questdlg('What do you want to do?', ...
                'Select Function', ...
                'Get data from images', 'Get Amplitude information from data','Plot displacement vs. time','Get data from images');
switch SelectFunction
   
%% Input data from images
    case 'Get data from images'

      'Stuff'

    

    case 'Get Amplitude information from data'

      'more stuff'

A more complex but useful process is this:

function UserInterfaceExample

% User Interface Example

% Creates a box with buttons which execute functions

 

    clear;clc;close all;

    height = 250;

    width = 200;

    figure

    set(gcf,'Position',[1000 height+200 width height],'Menubar','none')

   

    uicontrol('Style', 'pushbutton', 'String', 'Say Hi',...

            'Position', [50 height-50 100 20],...

            'Callback', @Function1);

   

    uicontrol('Style', 'pushbutton', 'String', 'Say Bye',...

        'Position', [50 height-100 100 20],...

        'Callback', @Function2);

   

    uicontrol('Style', 'pushbutton', 'String', 'Draw a Line',...

        'Position', [50 height-150 100 20],...

        'Callback', @Function3);

   

    uicontrol('Style', 'pushbutton', 'String', 'Draw Shapes',...

        'Position', [50 height-200 100 20],...

        'Callback', @Function4);

end

function Function1(src,evt)

    clear;clc;close all;

    fprintf('HI')

end

function Function2(src,evt) 

    clear;clc;close all;

    fprintf('Bye!') 

end

    

function Function3(src,evt)

    clear;clc;close all; 

    figure

    line([2 5],[2 5])

end

function Function4(src,evt)

    clear; clc; close all;

    figure

    rectangle('Position',[200 200 300 500],'Curvature', [0 0])

    rectangle('Position',[10 10 300 500],'curvature',[1,1])

    axis square

end
