Within a single popup dialog box, how to request multiple user inputs to define variables?

32 views (last 30 days)
I have four separate boxes popup for a user to define variables r, s, n, and d:
r = str2double (inputdlg ('Input row number.')); % Row number.
s = str2double (inputdlg ('Input section number.')); % Section number.
n = str2double (inputdlg ('Input quantity of images.')); % Quantity of images.
d = str2double (inputdlg ('Input distance from vine [ft].')); % Camera distance from vine [ft].
Is there a way for the user to define these variables using one popup box? Thank you!

Try
prompt = {'Input dialog'};
name = 'Input dialog';
numlines = 2;
dlg_ans = inputdlg(prompt, name, numlines);
then use
dlg_ans{1}(1,:)
dlg_ans{1}(2,:)

Thanks for the step in the right direction! I now have:
prompt = {'Input: row #, section #, image quantity, vine distance'};
name = 'Input';
numlines = 4;
dlg_ans = inputdlg(prompt, name, numlines);
dlg_ans{1}(1,:)
dlg_ans{1}(2,:)
dlg_ans{1}(3,:)
dlg_ans{1}(4,:)
Are you aware of any method for making this single dialog box contain four line-specific prompts (rather than the single "prompt" heading)?

Yes, inputdlg() accepts a cell array of strings for the several prompts.
