Genetic Algorithm Plotter does not display

Hi

I'm using the ga optimizer to find some parameters. However, the bestfit plot does not show up at all.

I used this code from the help section

%% Fit options
opts=optimoptions('ga','FunctionTolerance', 1E-9,'MaxGenerations',5000000,'MaxStallGenerations',500000,'HybridFcn','patternsearch', ...
   'PlotFcn',{@gaplotbestf,@gaplotchange},'PopulationSize',500,'FitnessLimit',-inf,'MigrationDirection','both');

%% Optimizer

%       Do       a       ro     
lb = [  0   ;    0    ;  0 ];
ub = [  Inf ;   3.0   ; 5.0 ];

f=@(param_vec) e_and_r_vals(param_vec)
[best_fit_param,fval,exitflag,output,population,scores] = ga(f,3,[],[],[],[],lb,ub,[],opts)

Also the below does not show the plot

%% Fit options
opts=optimoptions('ga','FunctionTolerance', 1E-9,'MaxGenerations',5000000,'MaxStallGenerations',500000,'HybridFcn','patternsearch', ...
   'PlotFcn','@gaplotbestf','PopulationSize',500,'FitnessLimit',-inf,'MigrationDirection','both');

%% Optimizer

%       Do       a       ro     
lb = [  0   ;    0    ;  0 ];
ub = [  Inf ;   3.0   ; 5.0 ];

f=@(param_vec) e_and_r_vals(param_vec)
[best_fit_param,fval,exitflag,output,population,scores] = ga(f,3,[],[],[],[],lb,ub,[],opts)

opts=optimoptions('ga', 'FunctionTolerance', 1E-9, 'MaxGenerations', 5000000, 'MaxStallGenerations', 500000, 'HybridFcn', 'patternsearch', ...
   'PlotFcn', @gaplotbestf, 'PopulationSize', 500, 'FitnessLimit', -inf, 'MigrationDirection', 'both');

You can specify the plot function by name (character vector or string scalar) or by handle. You cannot specify the plot function by character vector that looks sort of like a handle. @gaplotbestf or 'gaplotbestf' not '@gaplotbestf'

Hi.

I tried that as well but It did not show. The strange thing is that simulated annealing plots show. However, ga and particle swarm plots do not.

We will probably need all your code and whatever data to test with
