Hi,
I want to use the variable of my function which is a structure as the title of a figure. For example I do :
a = fullplot ( name_struc)
%The function is defined as :
function [] = fullplot(struc)
e = struc.xaxis
s = struc.yaxis
plot(e,s)
title ( ' XXX ' )
end
Instead of the 'XXX' i want to put 'name_struc'.
I tried with inputname(1) but this return 'struc' and not 'name_struc' .
Can someone help me please ?
Thank you

This seems to work fine:
name_struc.xaxis = 1:20;
name_struc.yaxis = rand(1, 20);
a = fullplot ( name_struc)
%The function is defined as :
function a = fullplot(struc)
e = struc.xaxis
s = struc.yaxis
plot(e,s)
title (inputname(1), 'Interpreter', 'none', 'FontSize', 20)
a=1; % Some output.
end

You see, it has a title of name_struc, not struc.

Are you sure? put inputname(1) inside the function. It should show name as "MyStruct" if you call it with fullplot(MyStruct)
