Adress figures without creating them

I have a matlabscript with 50+ figures.

I would like to built a GUI where i can choose out of a list of all the available figures and then execute only the choosen ones. (Without executing the whole script in the first place. I know how to adress open figures. But thats not the question)

How can i do that?

Thanks for your help!

The main part of your code should produce all data needed for all figures. Each figure could be put into a nested function. Then you can use a listbox, checkbox panel, dropdown box, or almost any other UI component to list all possible figures. The callback function can include a switch-case within a for-loop that calls the appropriate figures.

Thanks for your help. And how can i get a list of all nested functions in my code?

I suggest you build the list manually. Let's say the user selected 5 figure (i = 5)

for i = 1:numberSelected
    switch choice(i)
        case 1
            plotFigure1(...)
        case 2
            plotFigure2(...)
        case 3
            plotFigure3(...)
        case 4 
            etc..
    end
end
