Issue with figure display

Hi,

I have used below command inside the for loop to avoid the display of figures. However, if I run some other command even in new editor page there is no figure display at all. And also, the new figures are always overlapping with the previous ones..

This problem is getting rectified only if I restart the Matlab..

I seriuosly don't know what's happening with this command,, Any help please ??

set(0,'DefaultFigureVisible','off')

The command you posted will set the default visibility property to off. That means that a new figure that is created will have its visibility turned off. This setting affects every figure creation in Matlab.

You should change the code in your loop to create the figures with their visibility off instead.

If that is not possible, you should restore the default when you're done.

DefaultFigureVisible=get(0,'DefaultFigureVisible');
set(0,'DefaultFigureVisible','off')

% rest of your code

set(0,'DefaultFigureVisible',DefaultFigureVisible)

Thanks,

You mean some thing like this,

Inside for loop

for i = 1:10
DefaultFigureVisible=get(0,'DefaultFigureVisible');
set(0,'DefaultFigureVisible','off')
end

Outside

set(0,'DefaultFigureVisible',DefaultFigureVisible)

There is no reason to set those things inside the loop. Below is what I mean.

DefaultFigureVisible=get(0,'DefaultFigureVisible');
set(0,'DefaultFigureVisible','off')

for n=1:10
    %some code
end

set(0,'DefaultFigureVisible',DefaultFigureVisible)

Yes !!. Thanks a lot.. It's working

Hi,

Is there any way to restore to default after done with set(0,'DefaultFigureVisible','off') ??

That is what the last line is for.

The problem is I have to add figure () in order to display the plot again, for some reason I had to avoid figure () option. But that fine, I am using another trick..

Thanks a lot..

That is what I suggested as well (as the preferred solution actually): if create new figures in your loop, you should set the Visible property then.

for n=1:10
    f(n)=figure('Visible','off');
    ax=axes('Parent',f(n));
    plot(rand(10,1),'Parent',ax)
    title(sprintf('n=%d',n))
end
set(f(randi(end)),'Visible','on')

Sure.. Thanks
