Convert FIG to MATLAB code

Generate programmatic GUI MATLAB File from a FIG-File

Description

FIG2M - Generate programmatic GUI M-File from a FIG-File

Version : 1.0
Created : 10/05/2006

Author : Thomas Montagnon (The MathWorks France)

>> outputFile = fig2m(guiName,outputDir,syscolorfig,cb_gen);

   guiName -> Name of the Fig-File (absolute or relative path)
   outputDir -> Directory where the generated M-File will be saved
   syscolorfig -> Use system default background color (true or false)
   cb_gen -> Generate callbacks (true or false)
   outputFile -> Name of the generated M-File

>> fig2m

   If you call the function with no input arguments it will ask you for the parameters.

Very good work!

Thanks Thomas,
This is a really very nice utility b'coz, GUIDE helps us to develop a gui and gives basic m file which does not have programming details. m file developed by this function is really excellent and can help us to modify the properties of image

Thanks

I wish to have updated copy of the same utility. Can you please mail me.

Thanks

[Nicolas MONTAGNON]

Great job Brother !

[Thierry Dalon]

Great! Well done.

[qooroo]

really really nicely done.

[Christian Wörner]

Wow, nice work.

[Jonathan Lister]

This worked really well. I had a very complicated custom plotting tool that I developed in 2009a. My tool worked well until I tried to run it on an older version (7.1 2005b0-ish). The fig file binary must have changed between those versions. This tool has helped me start to work around that issue. Thanks!

I have a suggestion:
Although my custom toolbar and the push and toggle buttons were translated perfectly, the tool did not preserve their order. I would like to see your tool do that in the future, as well as copy over all of the callback and other functions in the original m-file.

This has converted a number of Guide GUIs into more managable M files without trouble for me. The only thing missing is parsing the callbacks into the new M file.

maybe iam to stupid but if i let it run i get always the error message
??? Undefined function or variable "listTemp".

Error in ==> fig2m at 430
  disp(listTemp.Tag);

if i comment this i become multiple error msg
fig2m
Index exceeds matrix dimensions.

fig2m
Reference to non-existent field 'samplerate3'.
i use i with M2009b i whould be happy if someone have an idea...

[Martin1986]

Okay, i think i get the Problem, but iam not sure why, it works for guis which have no input/output o.O so my maingui works but the guis which get called from the main doesn't work

[Dion]

This is a great tool and it's surprising that something similar has not been implemented within Matlab.

[Robert W.]

same problem as martin.

[Otis]

Good work!! Did just what I needed!!

[Urs Schuerch]

Beautiful, many thanks.
