Thread Subject: problem with IMPOLY in compiled GUI

hi there,

I have a problem with the IMPOLY function in my GUI, after I compiled it to run as a standalone application.

the idea is to open a new figure containing an image, then using impoly (or roipoly) to draw a polygon and then get the window closed again.
but as soon as the function IMPOLY is called, an error occurs.

anybody an idea on how to solve this prob? is it possible to call new figures in compiled GUIs?

thanks, patrick

I've found out, that the problem is a missing point.png icon which is needed by IMPOLY. but this file is not included when compiling the GUI. it should be located in the
"C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\ptrk\Lokale Einstellungen\Anwendungsdaten\MathWorks\mcr_cache_v78\ROIanalyzer_D4EA58FE8B9BF53B93152E48186D06DB\toolbox\images\icons" folder, whereby ROIanalyzer is the name of my application.

anyone an idea how to include this point.png in the compiled version?

thanks

once again, just wanted to inform you, that I have solved the problem! :)

it was this missing point.png file, which I have now added manually.
therefore you need to add following path in the folder where your main .m file is located:
\toolbox\images\icons\

and now copy the point.png file into this folder. finally add this file to the "other files" foder inside the deploytool toolbar.

now the compiled application should copy the point.png into the correct directory.
hth, best regards, patrick

Hi Patrick...
First of all thank you for your topic...
Many people had the same problem but your solution is the only one I found in the net...
Unfortunately it didn't work for me....

So I solved by another way...I hope it can be usefull for anyone...

I modified the file "C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2008a\toolbox\images\imuitools\private\polygonSymbol.m", where, at the line 71, the file "point.png" is loaded...

I commented the line "cursor = imread(fullfile(ipticondir,'point.png'));" and I added:

ACTDIR = cd;
ACTDIR = [ACTDIR,filesep,'icons',filesep];
cursor = imread(fullfile(ACTDIR,'point.png'));

Then I copied the file "point.png" in the directory "icons", added where my main.m file to be compiled, and I compiled the gui.

Finally I had to add the whole directory "icons" in the path where my "main.exe" file resides and it works perfectly...

When your application is compiled the modified "polygonSymbol.m" file is compiled too and it make work the exe perfectly...
After having compiled you can delete the modification in your "polygonSymbol.m" file to not disturb MATLAB...:-)

Hope it is usefull
Thanks
Simone
