I have been working on an gui developed using the GUIDE in Matlab. The current gui, I mean the general figure window contains all types of sliders, buttons, editboxes, etc...
After awhile, I added a toolbar to my gui which included the Save tool. I have not changed any specifications regarding the save tool. I used the one already in GUIDE toolbar editor.
After clicking it, my gui program is stuck at that very instance I pressed the save tool and I cannot do anything else with it. It also opens in the same situation even after restarting the PC. I do not get any errors.
I would appreciate any help. How to restore functionality to my gui?
Unfortunately the "Save" tool's default is not "Save As" with a prompt it is just the normal "save" which immediately overwrites. The tool saved your current figure (or GUI). Meaning it overwrote the fig file of your GUI with the current state.
So when you pressed "save" uicontrol visibility, values, slider positions, edit box text etc. all was written into the FIG file. So the next time you launch it is all still in there.
To Fix it you will probably have to edit in GUIDE and try to clear / reset everything to your desired initial state.

I am currently working with Simulink and out of the sudden, I am unable to change the Model Configuration Parameters.
Whether I try to open the window via RightClick->Model Configuration Parameters or via Ctrl+E, in both cases, a blank white window opens.
This problem persists after a reboot and opening/closing MATLAB. Furthermore, it is the case for any model (whether old, new, untouched, example...) on my computer. Yesterday I searched for 45min for possible solutions but could not find any.
Is there some graphics cache or can you think of another way, how I could get the dialog back? A photo is attached:

Thanks a lot in advance!
This problem happens in Academic version on Simulink. I have not seen it in Original software.
A solution for your problem can be :
1) clear cache of Simulink by typeing the following command in command window :
rehash toolboxcache
2) reset menu and toolbar of Simulink by the following command :
sl_refresh_customizations
Then close MATLAB by exit command.
For some reason I am unable to resize the workspace size of a GUI figure using MATLAB's built in GUIDE editor. Every time I do so (by dragging the corner of the workspace), I get a warning in MATLAB's console stating:
Warning: Cannot set Position while WindowStyle is 'docked'
> In guidefunc>resizeFigure at 2693
In guidefunc at 116
I have tried setting the default window style to 'normal' (set(0,'DefaultFigureWindowStyle','normal')) to no avail.
I see no reports of this strange behaviour elsewhere online, and wonder if anyone else has experienced this?
Am using MATLAB R2012a. Any thoughts appreciated(!)
Improving upon Lucius' answer, I was able to resize the figure after using the following command on the workspace window.
set(gcf,'WindowStyle','normal')
This command helps sets the window style to normal and hence is resize-able.
I am using Matlab R2020b and the figure under question was selected (highlighted) before I ran this command.
Default-Window-Style and Window-Style are two different things. If you want to change the WindowStyle, you should use that property.
In addition take care for the handle of the figure!
%get handle:
myFigure= findobj('Tag','SomeUniqueTagHere') %make sure to get the right one
set(myFigure,'WindowStyle','normal')
I guess (but I'm not absolutely sure) default-properties will just be used during creation.
You can resize the workspace in GUI and therefore avoid the error message
Warning: Cannot set Position while WindowStyle is 'docked'
by changing the setting WindowStyle in the GUI. To the end you should:
Go to the GUI
Double click on the background, which makes appear the inspector panel.
Go to the property WindowStyle and change it from docked to normal.
After that you can resize your workspace normally.
I'd like to save a copy of my figure without the white background. Prior versions of matlab had various options to do with figure copying, such as the background color options and keeping screen resolution, etc. Where did it go? I found "figure copy template" in preferences, but none of that stuff is there.
That option is still available in 2012b. From the figure, selected the Edit menu and copy options. There's a button for Transparent Background. This screen is also available from copy figure template by clicking the plus sign to the right.
How do I tell the Chrome developer tools that I'm done live-editing a section of javascript, and want the result to be "evaluated"?
Editing the javascript on the fly is simple, I simply put the cursor somewhere in a script in the Scripts tab and start typing, but how do I finish the editing process?
I read here that "changes you apply to the code are expressed only at the time when execution passes through them", but even if I try editing a function when it's being called (i.e., when having a hit breakpoint inside it), I can't get my changes to be acknowledged. Edit: this whole, "execution passes through it" stuff seems false or out of date at best.
Editing javascript on the fly in the developer tools is demoed by Paul Irish in this video around 3:30, but I can't figure out how he goes from editing code, to having it actually be used by the browser.
Ctrl+S or "right-click > Save".
Make sure you haven't enabled pretty-print, as you can't live-edit code, then.
This is what you are looking for:
1.- Navigate to the Source tab and open the javascript file
2.- Edit the file, right-click it and a menu will appear: click Save and save it locally.
In order to view the diff or revert your changes, right-click and select the option Local Modifications... from the menu. You will see your changes diff with respect to the original file if you expand the timestamp shown.
More detailed info here: http://www.sitepoint.com/edit-source-files-in-chrome/
Go to sources, choose the file you want.
Click the pause button to pause debugging .
Modify the script adding a console.log or whatever you want, wherever you want
Save the file (cmd-s or ctrl-2)
Click the pause/resume button to resume execution
the modified code will be executed
I am invoking the "uiimport" command within a program, opening the Import Wizard to display some data. I would like to be able to automatically close the Wizard within a function (equivalent to "close(gcf)" for a figure), as opposed to having to click "Finish" or "Cancel" or whatever. Is there a way to do this, or should I just find a different way to display the data?
TIA for your help.
I would find a better way to show the data. uiimport is modal, so execution is suspended until it closes, so the script that started it cannot close it.
