How can I use the data from one guide in another guide?

For example, I have the following code:

NumberOfTeeth1 = str2double(get(handles.edit1,'String'))

Diameter1 = str2double(get(handles.edit2,'String'))

I want these two variables to be reproduced in another guide, specifically in text1 and text2

How can I save these two values so they can be reproduced in another interface?

Just guess of mine, maybe you can define some variables global to use them into second gui. For example I use some variables from my *m.file into the gui.

dont forget to define them global in both gui1 and gui2 to recall them as global and to use same value into the variable.

You could, but you really shouldn't.

Generally, I try to escape from that choice, however, the background should be more flexible about using variables from *m.files to gui. Actually, same problem is alive on the same *m.file for data flow between script and function. Even on any breakpoint, I do not see the variables outside of the functio or define all arguments to the function etc.

You will either need to make sure the second GUI has the handle to the first GUI, or save the variable to an external place both can reach:

• the UserData property of groot
• a preference with getpref and setpref
• a mat file in your current folder

For general advice and examples for how to create a GUI (and avoid using GUIDE), have look at this thread.
