I made a GUI that gets 2 elements: files (list of files) and options

  • 0

I made a GUI that gets 2 elements: files (list of files) and options (I will explain later).

there is a function that calls the function below:

// asume that this is my 'options'
options{1} = {'Treatment', 't1', 't2'};
options{2} = {'Tree', '1', '2'};
options{3} = {'Replica', 'r1', 'r2', 'r3'};

// asume that this is my 'files' (may be more than 2 images
files{1} = 'C:\Documents and Settings\erezalon\Desktop\gib_proj_02.10.12\fina3_32bit\IMG_4640.JPG';
files{2} = 'C:\Documents and Settings\erezalon\Desktop\gib_proj_02.10.12\fina3_32bit\grapes03.jpg';


mydata = mainGUI(options, files).

// here I want to check 'mydata'. if it is equal to zero or not.

for each image, the GUI is created in the function ‘mainGUI’ (but each time, one GUI is showed till the user presses ‘next’).

I want to do the next thing:

if the user presses the close button in the GUI, I want to stop the displaying of the other GUI-s and set ‘data = 0’. then, I will check what is the returned element (‘mydata’) and if it’s equal to 0, I will know that the user closed the GUI and I will act as needed.

I tried to do this by the ‘cmdClose_Callback’ but it doesn’t work.

assume that ‘files’ = two images, so this is the GUI of the first image.

I press the close button:

enter image description here

and got the GUI of the second image despite of closing the GUI of the first image.

enter image description here

I want that when I close the GUI, the other GUI-s don’t appear.

this is my code:

function  data = mainGUI(options, files)
 %# current options
 j = 1;
 ops = cellfun(@(c) c(1), options, 'Uniform',false);
 data{j} =  [ops{1:length(ops)}];
 j = j + 1;


 options = cellfun(@(c) c(2:1:end), options, 'Uniform',false);
 clear ops;
 ops = cellfun(@(c) c(1), options, 'Uniform',false);
 opts =  [ops{1:length(ops)}];

%# create main figure, with plot and options button
hFig = figure('Name','window 1','Visible','Off');
a = 1
callback

%# options button callback function
function callback(o,e)
    a = 2
    %# save current options (sharing data between the two GUIs)
    setappdata(hFig, 'opts',opts);

    %# display options dialog and wait for it

    for k=1: length(files)

            hOptsGUI = secondaryGUI(hFig, options, k, length(files));

            img = imread(files{k});  %# Read the data from image file data
            hAxes = axes('Parent',hOptsGUI,'Units','pixels','Position',[362 242 424 359]);  %#   so the position is easy to define
            image(img,'Parent',hAxes);  %# Plot the image
            set(hAxes,'Visible','off');          %# Turn the axes visibility off

            a = 3

            waitfor(hOptsGUI);

            a = 4
            %# get new options, and update plot accordingly
            opts = getappdata(hFig, 'opts');
             data{j} = opts;
             j = j + 1;
    end
end

end

function hFig = secondaryGUI(hParentFig, options, k, num_files)
%# create figure

a = 5


hFig = figure('Name','Step 3 of 4: Choose data for each image','Menubar','none', 'Resize','off', ...
    'WindowStyle','modal', 'Position',[300 300 1150 600], 'CloseRequestFcn',@cmdClose_Callback);
set(gcf,'NumberTitle','off')
movegui(hFig, 'center');



options = cellfun(@(c) c(end:-1:1), options, 'Uniform',false);
num = length(options);

%# get saved settings
selected = getappdata(hParentFig, 'opts');
a = 6
%# top/bottom panels
hPanBot = uipanel('Parent',hFig, 'BorderType','none', ...
    'Units','normalized', 'Position',[0 0.0 1 0.2]);

hPanTop = uipanel('Parent',hFig, 'BorderType','none', ...
    'Units','normalized', 'Position',[0 0.2 1 0.2]);



%# buttongroups in top panel
hBtnGrp = zeros(1,num);
width = 1/num;
for i=1:num
    %# create button group
    hBtnGrp(i) = uibuttongroup('Parent',hPanTop, ...
        'Units','normalized', 'Position',[(i-1)*width 0 width 1]);
    %# populate it with radio buttons
    height = 1./numel(options{i});
    for j=1:numel(options{i})
        h = uicontrol('Parent',hBtnGrp(i), 'Style','Radio', ...
            'Units','normalized', 'Position',[0.05 (j-1)*height 0.9 height], ...
            'String',options{i}{j});
        %# set initially selected values
        if strcmp(selected{i},options{i}{j})
            set(hBtnGrp(i), 'SelectedObject',h)
        end
    end
end

if k ~= num_files
%# save button in bottom panel
uicontrol('Parent',hPanBot, 'Style','pushbutton', ...
    'Units','normalized', 'Position',[0.3 0.2 0.4 0.2], ...
    'String','next', 'Callback',@callback);

else
    uicontrol('Parent',hPanBot, 'Style','pushbutton', ...
    'Units','normalized', 'Position',[0.3 0.2 0.4 0.2], ...
    'String','start', 'Callback',@callback);
end


%# save button callback function
function callback(o,e)
    a = 7
    %# get selected values
    hObjs = get(hBtnGrp(:), 'SelectedObject');
    vals = get(cell2mat(hObjs),{'String'});

    %# update settings
    setappdata(hParentFig, 'opts',vals);


    close(hFig)
    a = 8
end

 function cmdClose_Callback(hObject,varargin)
    disp(['Close Request coming from: ',get(hObject,'Type')]);
    a = 9

    %do cleanup here
    delete(hFig);
    a = 10

 end
end

if ‘files’ has two images, I push the ‘next’ button for the first figure, and in the second figure I close, I get:

a = 1
a = 2
a = 5
a = 6
a = 3
a = 7
Close Request coming from: figure
a = 9
a = 10
a = 8
a = 4
a = 5
a = 6
a = 3
Close Request coming from: figure
a = 9
a = 10
a = 4

above the line: hOptsGUI = secondaryGUI(hFig, options, k, length(files));
I tried to put some lines. In order to testthe lines, I print a fit message:

if (ishandle(hFig))
     disp('exists');
else disp('was closed');
end;

but it doesn’t work :/

for each GUI that the user will close, the next callback will called:

function callback(o,e)

    %# get selected values
    hObjs = get(hBtnGrp(:), 'SelectedObject');
    vals = get(cell2mat(hObjs),{'String'});

    %# update settings
    setappdata(hParentFig, 'opts',vals);

    %# close options dialog
    close(hFig)

end

so I just need to know in the next ‘for loop’ if this callback was called:

for k=1: length(files)

how can I do that?

    I succeeded!

    I used setappdata and getappdata in order to know if the second callback was called.

    @Derek, Derek, thank you very much for your help and that you spent a lot of time for me!

    function  data = mainGUI(options, files)
     %# current options
     j = 1;
     ops = cellfun(@(c) c(1), options, 'Uniform',false);
     data{j} =  [ops{1:length(ops)}];
     j = j + 1;
    
    
     options = cellfun(@(c) c(2:1:end), options, 'Uniform',false);
     clear ops;
     ops = cellfun(@(c) c(1), options, 'Uniform',false);
     opts =  [ops{1:length(ops)}];
    
    %# create main figure, with plot and options button
    hFig = figure('Name','window 1','Visible','Off');
    callback
    
    
    %# options button callback function
    function callback(o,e)
        %# save current options (sharing data between the two GUIs)
        setappdata(hFig, 'opts',opts);
    
        %# display options dialog and wait for it
    
        for k=1: length(files)
                hOptsGUI = secondaryGUI(hFig, options, k, length(files));
    
                img = imread(files{k});  %# Read the data from your image file
                hAxes = axes('Parent',hOptsGUI,'Units','pixels','Position',[362 242 424 359]);  %#   so the position is easy to define
                image(img,'Parent',hAxes);  %# Plot the image
                set(hAxes,'Visible','off');          %# Turn the axes visibility off
    
                out = 'FALSE';
                setappdata(hFig,'some_var',out);
                % show the images
                %%Im = imread(files{k});
                %%AxesH = axes('Units', 'pixels', 'position', [0.5, 10, 400, 260], 'Visible', 'off');

                waitfor(hOptsGUI);
    
                some_other_var = getappdata(hFig,'some_var');
    
                if (strcmp(some_other_var, 'OK') == 1)
                     %# get new options, and update plot accordingly
                    opts = getappdata(hFig, 'opts');
