Create a "Copy-Button" in MATLAB GUI

Hi,

i created a Matlab GUI and I need to add a button to copy the data that is presented in the uitable.

I need to create a matrix that contains als the three-dimensional ponits. So it needs to look like the uitable that in the attached fig-file, but the columns are seperated by comma.

I hope that somebody knows what I am looking for.

Thnaks in advance.

(I modified your m-file to include pushbutton_Callback and pushbutton2_Callback in the handles structure so I could run those functions here in the Answers forum.)

h = bachelor;
handles = guidata(h);
handles.pushbutton_Callback(handles.figure1,[],handles) % same as clicking the "Calculate" button

I added a single line to pushbutton2_Callback, which is "get(handles.table1,'Data')", so that when the "Copy Data" button is pushed the contents of the uitable are displayed in the command window.

handles.pushbutton2_Callback(handles.figure1,[],handles) % same as clicking the "Copy Data" button

ans = 195×3

0 0 1.000000000000000 0.017150418627992 0 0.823370357174576 0.072731407686129 0 0.654969826345343 0.167425334872282 0 0.505049838368501 0.293716496272837 0 0.380416474388619 0.441054925718054 0 0.281320429539904 0.601052703191758 0 0.204120675587443 0.768451294767690 0 0.144506893175706 0.940201848235069 0 0.098822798983855 1.114545504736437 0 0.064258683622423

It sounds like that's the matrix you want to create.

Do you want to do something else with it?

Hi, Thanks for you help.

The problem is that in this order I can already copy it out of the fig-file. What I need is that the matrix looks like this:

0,0,100

4.30355742687535,0,72.8138938991728

18.0090453955277,0,48.9894489320377

So the columns need to be seperated bei comma. Because know i copy the data out of the uitable and excecute a command in excel to make it look that way. The copy-button is supposed to be a shortcut for this. And perfect would be if it automatically saves the marix in the clipboard, but I don't know exactly if this is possible.

Thnaks again.

And another problem would be that the matrix in the command window is shortened by the factor 100. So right know I need to multiply the matrix by 100 to get the points I want.

[Tim Schaller]

I tried it by adding the following lines to the m-file:

function pushbutton2_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
% hObject    handle to pushbutton2 (see GCBO)
% eventdata  reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB
% handles    structure with handles and user data (see GUIDATA)
abc = get(handles.uitable1,'Data')
clipboard('copy',abc)

In this case the matrix is automatically saved in the clipboard, but it looks like this know

[0 0 100;1.71504186279923 0 82.3370357174576;7.27314076861285 0 65.4969826345343;.........]

And this is not what i need as well.

I don't know if my problem is even realizible.
