Use the debugger to find the reason of the problem. Type this in the command window:
dbstop if error
Then run the code again. When Matlab stops, check the types of the variables:
hgDataVars
hgDataVars.(vars_hgM{1})
hgDataVars.(vars_hgM{1}).GraphicsObjects
hgDataVars.(vars_hgM{1}).GraphicsObjects.Format3Data;

thank you for your answer
actually the problem comes from here
hgDataVars.(vars_hgM{1}).GraphicsObjects
ans = [ ]
this GraphicsObjects should be the figure

Okay. Now you know, where to search for the problem. Open the soure in the editor and search, where GraphicsObjects is set to the empty matrix.

Try clearing your workspace and then launching the GUI. Looks like you have a variable with the same name as the GUI.
