I want to modify the the psplotbestf.m custom plot function, but I can’t seem to get it to work …
As soon as change ANY figure or axes properties other than ‘tag’, the psplotbestf.m stops working.
stop = false;
switch flag
case 'init'
h_OptRsltFig = gcf;
set(h_OptRsltFig,'Tag','OptRsltFig');
h_OptRsltAx = gca;
set(h_OptRsltAx,'Tag','OptRsltAx');
h_OptRsltPlt = plot(optimvalues.iteration,optimvalues.fval, '.b');
set(h_OptRsltPlt,'Tag','OptRsltPlt');
xlabel('Iteration','interp','none');
ylabel('Function value','interp','none')
case 'iter'
h_OptRsltFig = findobj('Tag','OptRsltFig');
h_OptRsltAx = findobj(get(h_OptRsltFig,'Children'),'Tag','OptRsltAx');
h_OptRsltPlt = findobj(get(h_OptRsltAx,'Children'),'Tag','OptRsltPlt');
newX = [get(h_OptRsltPlt,'Xdata') optimvalues.iteration];
newY = [get(h_OptRsltPlt,'Ydata') optimvalues.fval];
set(h_OptRsltPlt,'Xdata',newX, 'Ydata',newY);
end
this codes works fine, BUT if I uncomment the set position line, the code doesn’t work. In the case ‘iter’ section, the findobj for the Axes and Plot with the tag fails to find anything, and returns a zero.
So, it seems that setting the “position” property somehow erases the tag property, or otherwise makes the findobj command not work.
Just to see what was going on, I tried changing ‘name’, ‘title’, and a few other properties as well. If I try to set anything other than ‘tag’, the code fails. It puts up the first point (i.e. the init case runs), but doesn’t add any later points, (i.e. the iter case fails to run properly).
Thanks for any help you can offer.
