Specify Callbacks in Function Calls matlab

Specify a component callback property value as one of the following:

• A string that contains one or more MATLAB ortoolbox commands to evaluate

• A handle to a function that is within scope when theGUI is running

• A cell array containing a string function name ora function handle, plus optional strings, constants, or variable namesfor arguments

Use String Callbacks

You can concatenate commands in a string callback. This one,for example, adds a title to the plot it creates.

set(hb,'Callback',...       'plot(myvar,''--m''); title(''String Callback'')')

Use Function Handle Callbacks

Here is an example of declaring a callback when defininga uicontrol:

figureuicontrol('Style','slider','Callback',@display_slider_value)

Hereis the definition of the function in the GUI code file. The callbackprints the value of the slider when you adjust it:

function display_slider_value(hObject,eventdata)disp(['Slider moved to ' num2str(get(hObject,'Value'))]);

Whenyou click an arrow on the slider, the output of the function lookslike this:

Slider moved to 0.01Slider moved to 0.02

Use Cell Arrays with Strings.

 The following cellarray callback defines a function name as a quoted string,'pushbutton_callback',and two arguments, one a variable name and one a string:

myvar = rand(20,1);set(hb,'Callback',{'pushbutton_callback',myvar,'--m'})

Thesetwo arguments are followed by whatever arguments you include whenyou specify the callback for the component. Code to execute'pushbutton_callback' mightlook like this:

function pushbutton_callback(hObject, eventdata, var1, var2)plot(var1,var2)

Use Cell Arrays with Function Handles.  

You canspecify a callback function using a function handle insteadof using a function name.

The following variation uses afunction handle to specify pushbutton_callback asthe callback routine to be executed when a user clicksPlotline.

figure;hb = uicontrol('Style','pushbutton',...               'String','Plot line')set(hb,'Callback',{@pushbutton_callback,myvar,'--m'})

As above, the callback is in a file named pushbutton_callback.m,which contains code such as this:

function pushbutton_callback(hObject, eventdata, var1, var2)plot(var1,var2)
