Hi Giovanni,
It sounds like you're encountering an issue where MATLAB's execution pauses due to 'waitforbuttonpress' and doesn't resume as expected when you interact with the figure or press a button. The behaviour you are describing, particularly the execution not continuing even after pressing "Continue", is not standard and might indicate an issue with how the event is being handled or the expected function's behavior.
Some important points to consider when using 'waitforbuttonpress':
- If a 'WindowButtonDownFcn' is defined for the figure, it executes before 'waitforbuttonpress' returns a value.
- The 'waitforbuttonpress' function errors if the user closes the figure by clicking the window close button unless your code calls the waitforbuttonpress function within a try/catch block.
Also, To resume program execution after the 'waitforbuttonpress' function is called, a click or key press must occur in the current figure, and not just any figure. This change in behavior was introduced in order to prevent program execution from proceeding in an unintended figure. Prior to R2014b, 'waitforbuttonpress' would detect a click or key press event in any open figure. The execution stream would then resume in the figure in which the event was detected.
I hope this helps!
