How can I create a nested figure/my own component?

3 views (last 30 days)
I need to create my own simple compound GUI control, but I do not want to dig into AciveX.
The thing is - I need to define a "component" consisting of 1 axis and 3 textfields, which must always go together.
So that afterwards I could add an arbitrary number of this "controls" to a figure.
Maybe I could somehow load an already created .fig file on an existing one programmatically?

I would recommend creating a class that is this combination of things. It could then have properties and methods like any other HG object but be your own to set up how you wish.

You cannot display FIG files in a figure. But you can create a subfunction, which adds the wanted elements as a group. See e.g. "edit btngroup".

Do you think of something like megawidgets? E.g. A New Megawidget Library, Python megawidgets. I don't think anything like megawidgets is avaiable in Matlab. It's not obvious to me how to implement it, but it would be useful.
