I have created a GUI function as follows. what I am trying to do is to put this GUI in a loop so that I can use it for different elements. for the output I have two vectors that are 6 by 1. What I am trying to do is, when I choose different radio buttons and put different values in the edit text of the GUI, to have the results saved in different positions of the output vector depending on the radio buttons. I am trying to give the GUI a title as the input.
Thanks in advance.
function varargout = distributedloads(varargin)
% DISTRIBUTEDLOADS MATLAB code for distributedloads.fig
% DISTRIBUTEDLOADS, by itself, creates a new DISTRIBUTEDLOADS or raises the existing
% singleton*.
%
% H = DISTRIBUTEDLOADS returns the handle to a new DISTRIBUTEDLOADS or the handle to
% the existing singleton*.
%
% DISTRIBUTEDLOADS('CALLBACK',hObject,eventData,handles,...) calls the local
% function named CALLBACK in DISTRIBUTEDLOADS.M with the given input arguments.
%
% DISTRIBUTEDLOADS('Property','Value',...) creates a new DISTRIBUTEDLOADS or raises the
% existing singleton*. Starting from the left, property value pairs are
% applied to the GUI before distributedloads_OpeningFcn gets called. An
% unrecognized property name or invalid value makes property application
% stop. All inputs are passed to distributedloads_OpeningFcn via varargin.
%
% *See GUI Options on GUIDE's Tools menu. Choose "GUI allows only one
% instance to run (singleton)".

I wrote an example script that creates GUI and a one callback function.
In the GUI there is vector of handles to Radio Buttons, Push Button and axes with line to visualize the results.
The script code:
close all % close all figures
figure % open a figure for GUI
Values=zeros(3,1); % Variable of the interest
UIGroup=uibuttongroup('parent',gcf,'position',[0 0 1 1]); % Group for Radio Buttons
for ii=1:3 % create 3 Radio buttons, for example
RB(ii)=uicontrol('style','radiobutton',...
'units','normalized','position',[.05, ii/10 0.15 0.1],...
'parent',UIGroup,'string',['Button ' num2str(ii)]);
end
% Push Button that runs DoIt function
uicontrol('style','pushbutton','string','DO',...
'units','normalized','position',[0.45 0.05 0.1 0.1],...
'callback','Values=DoIt(RB,L,Values);')
% Axes and Line just for example
ax=axes('units','normalized','position',[0.25 0.2 0.6 0.7],...
'xlim',[-0.1 3.1],'ylim',[-0.1 1.1]);
L=line('xdata',1:3,'ydata',Values,'marker','.','linestyle','none')
This script defines Values variable and content of the GUI.
Push Button runs the DoIt function which assigns new content to Values according to RB handle. Values are needed only to keep other values in Values, L is used only to visualize the changes.
DoIt code:
function[OutValues]=DoIt(RadioHandle,LineHandle,InValues)
OutValues=InValues; % Copy Values from input to output variable
%% Find which radio button is active
M=max(size(RadioHandle));
for ii=1:M
Radios(ii)=get(RadioHandle(ii),'value');
end
RadioChecked=find(Radios==1); % This RadioButton is active
OutValues(RadioChecked)=ProcessIt; % Process the chosen position.
set(LineHandle,'ydata',OutValues);% Visualize the change
function[OUT]=ProcessIt()
OUT=rand; % this function will just return random value, for example.
The DoIt function reads handle to radio buttons RB and determines which button is active. Then it change the appropriate value in Value variable and return it and changes y-values in line with handle L.
In this example it will assign random value to the defined point but You can pass any variable from workspace / parent function and call any function.
