Will subplot work for uipanel?

G.A.M. — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 19:50:06 -0400

I want to create multiple plots inside a specific area of a
figure. I am attempting to do that by using a uipanel and
subplot. However, in these newsgroups I saw a message that
someone was having trouble getting subplot to work with a
uipanel. Is it possible to use subplot on a uipanel?

If not, what is a better (easier) way to create a variable
number of plots in a certain area of a figure?

Maybe I could use docking somehow... this is all new to me,
so any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks

Using the first two lines of the example in the UIPANEL reference page:

http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/index.html?/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/ref/uipanel.html

h = figure;
hp = uipanel('Title','Main Panel','FontSize',12,...
'BackgroundColor','white',...
'Position',[.25 .1 .67 .67]);

sp1 = subplot(2, 2, 1, 'Parent', hp);
plot(1:10);
sp4 = subplot(2, 2, 4, 'Parent', hp);
surf(peaks);

I tested this in MATLAB 7.4 (R2007a) and it worked fine.

Thank you. This works for me too. Now I just wish I could
find that earlier incorrect message I read on this newsgroup
to add a correction to it...

I had wrote this to test the uipanel, but it doesn't work.

function pushbutton3_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)

I = imread('C:\Users\ABC\Desktop\Stroke\1A','jpg');
h = subplot(m,n,p,'Parent','handles.uipanel1');
imshow(I);
May I know what's the problem for this coding?

Thank you in advance.
Karen

Rather than resurrecting a thread that's over three years old, please start
a new thread for a new issue.

Get rid of the quotes around 'handles.uipanel1'. You want to pass the
actual handle into SUBPLOT, not a string containing the name of the struct
field containing the handle.

No, because you haven't told us what "it doesn't work" means. Does it
error? Warn? Display the image incorrectly? Without that information (and
the FULL EXACT text of the error/warning message if one appears) there's NO
WAY anyone can offer any but the most general of suggestions.

Why don't you just put an axes (or multiple axes) on the uipanel in GUIDE
itself?
