why wont my gui update data

okay so I am learning how to build a gui this is very basic I can not figure out why my resultant,resultant angle, the table or the graphs are not updating. I am probably missing something extremely basic. Please help.

function varargout = Statics_Components(varargin) %STATICS_COMPONENTS M-file for Statics_Components.fig % STATICS_COMPONENTS, by itself, creates a new STATICS_COMPONENTS or raises the existing % singleton*. % % H = STATICS_COMPONENTS returns the handle to a new STATICS_COMPONENTS or the handle to % the existing singleton*. % % STATICS_COMPONENTS('Property','Value',...) creates a new STATICS_COMPONENTS using the % given property value pairs. Unrecognized properties are passed via % varargin to Statics_Components_OpeningFcn. This calling syntax produces a % warning when there is an existing singleton*. % % STATICS_COMPONENTS('CALLBACK') and STATICS_COMPONENTS('CALLBACK',hObject,...) call the % local function named CALLBACK in STATICS_COMPONENTS.M with the given input % arguments. % % *See GUI Options on GUIDE's Tools menu. Choose "GUI allows only one % instance to run (singleton)". % % See also: GUIDE, GUIDATA, GUIHANDLES

Just attach the fig file and m-file with the paper clip icon. And tell us which controls are not updating and what we have to do to illustrate the problem (what do we type or click to see that something is not updating).

Answer 1

[Jan]

The debugger is a marvelous tool to find out, what's going on in the code. Set a breakpoint at the start of each callback and step throught the code line by line. Then the problem is revealed most likely.

Answer 2

[Roxana Richter]

I figured it out I added a push button to trigger the calculations and moved my code to the push button Call back. I guess I just needed to sleep on it.
