Pre Selecting Figures to plot

When I run my script I have 10+ figures plotting. Rather than commenting them out, I was wondering if there is a way to set up at the beginning where I can select what plot or plots I would like. I was researching listdlg command but cant seem to implement this.

Thanks

Try this:

for k = 1 : 10
    choices{k} = sprintf('%d', k);
end
uiwait(helpdlg('On the next window, pick which you want to plot.'))
% Have specify which plots he wants to make
selectedIndexes = listdlg('ListString', choices)
if isempty(selectedIndexes)
    % User clicked Cancel.
    return;
end
% Do the selected plots:
for k = 1 : 10
    if ismember(k, selectedIndexes)
        subplot(3, 4, k);
        plot(rand(10, 1), '-')
        grid on;
        caption = sprintf('Plot #%d', k);
        title(caption)
    end
end

% some data you may or may not plot:
F = randn(10,1);
P = rand(20,1);
D = randi(50,25,1);

% prompt the plot selection:
plot_names = {'F' 'P' 'D'};
plot_idx = listdlg( ...
    'Name','Select Plots', ...
    'ListString',plot_names);

% make a logical vector saying whether to plot each plot:
do_plot = false(size(plot_names));
do_plot(plot_idx) = true;

% create the selected plots:
if do_plot(1)
    figure();
    plot(F);
    title('F')
end
if do_plot(2)
    figure();
    plot(P);
    title('P')
end
if do_plot(3)
    figure();
    plot(D);
    title('D')
end
