How can I open multiple GUI in matlab packaged app - matlab

I have created a matlab program that contains multiple GUIs.
The way a call different GUIs from the main GUI is the following:
function button1_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
close(main_GUI);
run GUI_1.m;
It works fine when the app is not packaged, but it gives me this error when the app is packaged using the matlab packaging application:
error using run
GUI_1.m not found
It looks like GUI_1.m file does't get included in the package, even when I add it manually from the packaging option.
Is it possible then to have different GUIs in a packaged matlab app? Thank you in advance

How to link MATLAB to Webots lib?

I created a MATLAB script for controller through wizards and uncommented
desktop; keyboard;
to interact with the MATLAB interface. Works are done on Win10.
My code works, but I have to start the MATLAB program from Webots to grant MATLAB access to Webots library. I tried opening MATLAB alone and had no clue about linking the program to Webots lib and project.
Another drawback is that every time I modify the codes and reset the simulation in Webots, MATLAB is restarted, which is annoying since it takes quite a time.
Q: Is there any way to link MATLAB to Webots lib so that I can develop the controller in MATLAB alone without starting Webots?
Maybe below solve your problem.
Solution
In the launcher.m file (..\Webots\lib\controller\matlab):
Change each line containing 'lib/matlab' to 'lib/controller/matlab'
Lines are 15, 23, 132
and
In allincludes.h (..\Webots\lib\controller\matlab):
Change each include path so that it goes back a further directory
eg: #include "../../../include/controller/c/webots/accelerometer.h"

Installing add-ons without display

There are more and more packages on Matlab Central that are shared in the form of add-ons or custom toolboxes (extension .mltbx).
I'm using such toolboxes and when on my desktop I can simply install them by clicking on them. However my code is eventually deployed on a cluster, where none of the nodes has these toolboxes installed and none of the Matlab instance is run with display.
How can I install add-ons programmatically?
Poking around MATLAB's subroutines I couldn't figure out an obvious way to handle this programmatically without at least some user input.
That being said, the *.mltbx package is really just a *.zip file, which we can access directly inside MATLAB. To illustrate this, I've created a quick toolbox using my code prototyping folder, testcode-matlab.mltbx.
If you extract the contents of this file using unzip: unzip('testcode-matlab.mltbx', 'temp'); you should be left with something like the following:
If we examine the contents of fsroot, we see that it's the folder of data packaged into the toolbox:
So we can take this folder, move it to where we want using something like copyfile, and then add it to the MATLAB path using addpath:
copyfile('.\temp\fsroot', '.\mytoolboxes\testtoolbox');
addpath('.\mytoolboxes\testtoolbox');
As of R2016a, there is a MATLAB API to install them:
matlab.addons.toolbox.installToolbox('mytoolbox.mltbx')

Manually Adding Toolbox to Matlab R2013b

I am working with OS X version 10.9.4 and using Matlab R2013b. I have recently downloaded a toolbox file and it saved as a folder on my desktop. It contains a bunch of .m files, which I'm not really sure how to add into my Matlab. I've read online and watched a few tutorials that all mention that I need to set the path to Matlab, but I can't seem to get it to work for me. I'm very new to Matlab and have been trying to figure this out for a couple of days, so my apologies if this is a very simple question to be asking.
There are a couple of ways of doing this. When a function is called in Matlab, it will look in all the directories contained within the path to find it. You can bring up the path by typing in the command "path".
Presumably, you want to add a new location for Matlab to look. This can be done via the addpath command. Addpath accepts both relative and absolute addresses. For example the command
addpath('C:\My_Matlab_Functions')
will enable you to access functions & files within the folder My_Matlab_Functions.
Relative directories are taken relative to the file which calls addpath. For example if I am running a function within C:\users\user_name\My_Documents\Matlab, calling
addpath('Tools')
will enable you to access all of the files within C:\users\user_name\My_Documents\Matlab\Tools. You can also go up directories via '..'. For example, if I am running a function within C:\users\user_name\My_Documents\Matlab\Project1, the command
addpath('..\Tools')
Accesses the same tools folder as before.
I have tried these examples on Windows, but I presume they work the same on a Mac. Hope this helps.
Alternatively, you may be able to add your file(s) directly into Matlab's built in toolbox. I don't know whether Matlab automatically searches for new folders here, but it may be worth a shot.

Accessing any folder from a compiled MATLAB application

I am developing a windows stand alone application in MATLAB 2012b .
In the code I am writing some files in two folders images and dump which are both accessible to the user. I want those two folders to be in the same folder as the final executable. I can create those folders manually. However, when I run the compiled application, it does not seem to access those folders. For example, the following line of code works perfectly when run from inside MATLAB,
save(fullfile('./images/camp.mat'),'camp','-v7.3');
however it does not seem to work in GUI as it seems to stop working at that point only and nothing is created in the images folder.
I have searched through the internet and found things like ctfroot() and MCR_ROOT etc but I am not able to solve my problem.

Matlab deployment with financial toolbox?

I am compiling a matlab code to exe and it has the uicalendar function in it. I did put the main app as my main .m file and in the setting I checked the financial toolbox.
The file compiled successfully and I can run the GUI but when I press the button that calls the uicalendar, the calendar will not show up.
Any idea ?
Thank you
According to this page, all GUI tools provided by the Financial toolbox (including uicalendar) are not supported by the MATLAB compiler for deployment.
Maybe you should search the File Exchange for an alternative...
