Hello Craig,
When using MATLAB in a notebook environment or when generating multiple figures in a script, you might encounter situations where only the last figure is displayed. This is because notebooks typically show only the final output of a cell unless instructed otherwise. To ensure that each figure is displayed, you can explicitly force the display of each figure. Here are a few strategies you can use to achieve this:
- Use drawnow: Insert drawnow after each figure creation to force MATLAB to render the figure immediately.
- Use pause: Use pause to halt execution temporarily, allowing you to view each figure before proceeding. This is especially useful if you have a pause mechanism in your script already.
- Use figure Command: Explicitly call `figure` with a specific number to ensure each figure is treated as a separate entity.
Here is a sample code for the same:
function analyzeObjects(images)
for i = 1:length(images)
% Analyze each object and generate figures
figure(i); % Ensure each figure is a separate window
imshow(images{i}); % Display the image (replace with actual analysis visualization)
title(sprintf('Analysis of Object %d', i));
% Force the figure to render
drawnow;
% Optional pause for viewing
pause(1); % Pause for 1 second or use input('Press Enter to continue') for manual control
end
end
I hope this helps!
