Possible to use fanplot in a GUI? (SOLVED)

Is it possible to use the fanplot graph in a GUI?

I tried the following code but it opens a new graph window.

% --- Executes on button press in pushbutton1.
function pushbutton1_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
% hObject    handle to pushbutton1 (see GCBO)
% eventdata  reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB
% handles    structure with handles and user data (see GUIDATA)
axesHandle= findobj(gcf,'Tag','axes1');
[hist, proj] = get_data(1000); %get historical data + 1000 simulations
axesHandle = fanplot(hist,proj);

As an aside to my answer below...

You should just be able to use

handles.axes1

by the way instead of

findobj(gcf,'Tag','axes1');

It is the more usual (and efficient I would assume, not having to search for a graphics object that you can just go to directly) way to refer to axes in a GUIDE GUI

Found it! The fanplot.m has the statement

h = figure;

Ended up making a hybrid between fanplot.m and fanChart.m which works great! Thanks for your answers!

Hi! I have the same problem! Can you maybe share the hybrid you created? would be very helpful! =) Thanks!

You can open the fanplot.m and modify the statement "h = figure" in "h = gcf" (it will use the current figure for the plot, instead of opening an additional figure). You will not be able to save the modified fanplot.m, so just copy all the function and paste it on a new m-file. I saved it as fanplot2 and added it to my matlab path, so i can use it whenever i want. With this little modification you can do useful things like putting your fan charts in subplots! In the same way you can disable the automatic grid, ylabel and title...

I don't have the Financial Toolbox so I can't test this out, but does

fanplot( hist, proj, 'parent', axesHandle );

work?

Hi,

I don't know this function (don't have the associated toolbox), but for what I see in the doc, you can do it.

First, check the HandleVisibility property of your figure. it should be set to callback.

Then, ckeck that your axe do have the tag axes1.

Finally, you can plot your data in the axe you want using the syntax

fanplot(hist,proj,'Parent',axesHandle);

check that axeshandle is not empty (put a breakpoint in your code at this line)

Unfortunately this doesn't work. The fanplot function doesn't allow other input arguments.

    Error using fanplot
    Too many input arguments.

    fanplot(hist, proj, 'Parent', axesHandle);
