How can I get another window after clicking on the push button?

I am making a tictactoe game. At first a window will come asking for the players' name. Then when the push button written "play" on it is clicked the window will change i.e. the window containing the game's plot will come.

Hi,

In your pushbutton callback, just close the current figure and open/call the new one.

function PlayButton_callback(...)

% close current figure
closereq;

% open the new one
GamePlotFigure(...);

Thanks a lot for your answer! Actually I am a beginner. The "closereq" function is working but I couldn't get the thing about "GamePlotFiqure." I've made another GUI with the game and pasted the code just after closing the previous window. But it's not working. Would you please explain how to open the new window?

What I called GamePlotFiqure is a name I made up for the example.

let say You have 2 gui : the main one called tictactoe, and the second playgame

the main is launched in Matlab when you call the script tictactoe.m

with the play button, you want to do 2 actions : close the main gui and open the playgame gui.

so in the callback of the play button from the main gui :

function PlayButton_callback(hobject, evendata, handles)
% close the current figure, which is the main one when you click the play button
closereq;

% call the script which open the playgame gui
playgame(...);

here, closereq close the main gui and playgame (your script) open the second one.

playgame(...); What do I fill in the dotted lines?

Hi guys, I did the following structure, and it works!

Use the command open to load a new GUI file (.fig) as in my example:

% --- Executes on button press in pushbutton5. Run Data analysis when pressing the button
function pushbutton5_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
% hObject    handle to pushbutton5 (see GCBO)
% eventdata  reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB
% handles    structure with handles and user data (see GUIDATA)
strGui2 = ('C:\Users\Desktop\Matlab Ana\AnalysisTab.fig'); %Set your GUI file's location
open (strGui2); %Open the new GUI 
closereq;       %Close the actual GUI

Thank you that was very helpful!

Is there away to edit it so it doesn't reopen a new figure each time I click on the pushbutton?

because what I'm doing is to draw things on the figure and whenever I click again on the pushbutton a new empty figure shows up.

Thanks in advance!!!
