Hi,

I am looking for a solution to find names of the faces after importing the stl file. pdegplot command does that but how can I use it in App Designer. I am trying the command but it throws different error. Looked for a solution but it isn't available.

Is there any other command where i can use it to see name faces in the App designer so that i can use it to apply BC.

Thanks,

Jigar

> pdegplot command does that but how can I use it in App Designer?

pdegplot does not have an input argument or property to specify the parent axes. This often poses a propblem in AppDesigner and uifigures in general since the default HandleVisible property in uifigures is 'off'. This prevents pdegplot from finding the axes within the uifigure resulting in the generation of a new figure external to the app.

I suppose this is the problem you're running into.

This workaround describes how to temporarily make the app's axes accessible and current so that the pdegplot will add content to the existing axes.

Here's a quick example. See the previous link for details.

% Mimick an app

app.UIFigure = uifigure();

app.UIAxes = uiaxes(app.UIFigure);

% Change handle visibility

origState = app.UIFigure.HandleVisibility;

handleVisCleanup = onCleanup(@()set(app.UIFigure,'HandleVisibility',origState));

app.UIFigure.HandleVisibility = 'on';

% Make axes current

set(groot, 'CurrentFigure', app.UIFigure)

set(app.UIFigure,'CurrentAxes',app.UIAxes)

% Plot pdegplot

g = [2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 4 4;

-1 -0.6 -0.5 -0.4 -0.5 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.5 -1 0.17;

1 -0.5 -0.4 -0.5 -0.6 0.5 0.6 0.5 0.4 0.17 1;

0 -0.25 -0.35 -0.25 -0.15 -0.25 -0.35 -0.25 -0.15 0 -0.74;

0 -0.35 -0.25 -0.15 -0.25 -0.35 -0.25 -0.15 -0.25 -0.74 0;

0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1;

1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0;

0 -0.5 -0.5 -0.5 -0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 0 0;

0 -0.25 -0.25 -0.25 -0.25 -0.25 -0.25 -0.25 -0.25 0 0;

0 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.1 1 1;

0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0.75 0.75;

0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0];

pdegplot(g)

Hi @Adam Danz and @Cris LaPierre, thanks for your inputs. Below is the error I encountered while executing the code:

Error using pdeigeom
Index in position 1 exceeds array bounds.
Error in pdegplot>plotTwoDGeometry (line 113)
d=pdeigeom(g,1:nbs);
Error in pdegplot (line 100)
        hh = plotTwoDGeometry(g, plotVertexLabels, plotEdgeLabels, plotSubLabels);
Error in app1/UpdateButtonPushed (line 100)
            createGeometryPlot(app);

I tried with your Matlab code:

function createGeometryPlot(app)

% Mimick an app

app.UIFigure = uifigure();

app.UIAxes = uiaxes(app.UIFigure);

% Change handle visibility

origState = app.UIFigure.HandleVisibility;

handleVisCleanup = onCleanup(@()set(app.UIFigure,'HandleVisibility',origState));

app.UIFigure.HandleVisibility = 'on';

% Make axes current

set(groot, 'CurrentFigure', app.UIFigure)

set(app.UIFigure,'CurrentAxes',app.UIAxes)

% Plot the geometry using pdegplot

pdegplot(app.smodel, 'FaceLabels', 'on', 'FaceAlpha', 0.5);

end

what did I miss? Also I am using R2022a. Thanks again for your inputs.
