Calling the function
exradio
with no arguments draws the GUI and sets
up the callbacks. The callbacks are identical for all the buttons: they
simply call
exradio
with a single input argument. When any button
is clicked, the
else
code is executed: it first finds all the radiobuttons
and returns their handles in the vector
h
. Then a vector,
ind
, of the
elements of
h
that are not equal to the Current Object (got by the call
gco
) is defined. The radio button that has just been clicked on will
be the Current Object. If a radio button is pushed, its “value” toggles
between zero and one. The
set
command then sets the “value” property
of all the other radio buttons to zero.
34.4 Variables in GUIs
Globals
Variables in the matlab workspace are not visible to function m-files. If
you use a function m-file to implement a GUI, you often need to access
variables that won't be visible to the function unless you make them
so. To explain this, consider the example of the exclusive radio buttons
given in the last section. Suppose we want to get rid of the
findobj
command in the
else
section of the code by putting the radio buttons'
