function varargout = interface(varargin)

function interface_OpeningFcn(hObject, eventdata, handles, varargin)

function varargout = interface_OutputFcn(hObject, eventdata, handles)

function Vel_Callback(vel, eventdata, handles)

function Vel_CreateFcn(vel, eventdata, handles)

this is the gui structure I have created, inside each function there is more code (some of them automatically created by MatLab) the idea is that I want to select a value of velocity from a pop up menu and I want to use the value chosen in a big program with tons of calculations where I must introduce the program to have the results of the program in the workspace

the idea a what to develop is 1.introduce some values with pop-up menus transfer the values to the workspace and there use them as constant for the program I have developed in other script

2. used the values in some calculation

I know is tricky but I have to programs a GUI and m file and I don't know how I can integrate them together

Do not integrate the GUI and the calculations. Exporting variables to the base workspace is not clean and safe also. Prefer keeping the values inside the GUI, e.g. by using guidata, setappdata or by setting the UserData of the figure or GUI elements. Then start the calculations by hitting a "Start" button. Now the GUI extracts the values (guidata, getappdata or obtaining the UserData) and creates the input arguments for the function.

This startegy allows to modify the GUI afterwards without touching the calculations and vice versa. The base workspace is not polluted, such that you can open several GUIs without the danger of confusion.

I would write all code for the calculations in a separate M-function. This allows to call it e.g. from a batch job also with a bunch of automatically created variables.

Then the GUI is used to create the inputs only:

function MainGUI
H.Fig  = figure('Position', [100, 100, 640, 480]);
H.Pop1 = uicontrol('Style', 'Popupmenu', ...
     'Position', [10, 10, 200, 25], ...
     'String', {'1', '2', '3'});
H.Pop2 = uicontrol('Style', 'Popupmenu', ...
     'Position', [10, 40, 200, 25], ...
     'String', {'100', '200', '300'});
H.Button = uicontrol('Style', 'Pushbutton', ...
     'Position', [10, 400, 80, 25], ...
     'String',   'Start', ...
     'Callback', @StartCB);
guidata(H.Figure, H);
end
function StartCB(ButtonH, EventData)
H = guidata(ButtonH);
Pop1Value  = get(H.Pop1, 'Value');
Pop1String = get(H.Pop1, 'String');
Pop1Number = sscanf(Pop1String{Pop1Value}, '%g');
Pop2Value  = get(H.Pop2, 'Value');
Pop2String = get(H.Pop2, 'String');
Pop2Number = sscanf(Pop2String{Pop1Value}, '%g');
Result = YourCalculations(Pop1Number, Pop2Number);
disp(Result)  % How ever you want to show the results
end

% And now a dummy for the calculations:

function Result = YourCalculations(a, b)
Result = a ^ 2 + b ^ 2;
end

Now you can call your calculations from either the GUI or inside a loop or whatever. The GUI part can be changed according to your taste or completely redesigned, e.g. by using GUIDE or the AppDesigner. The idea is to separate the GUI from the calculations, and the program from the data. This strategy increases the flexibility.

The question is: which workspace? Each function has its own workspace and the "Result" is caught inside the callback of the button. This would be the right location to store it in the figure:

Result = YourCalculations(Pop1Number, Pop2Number);
disp(Result)  % How ever you want to show the results
H.Result = Result;
guidata(ButtonH, H);

Then you can obtain the Result from the outside, when the figure can be found e.g. by the tag:

FigH = findobj(allchild(groot), 'flat', 'Tag', 'myGUITag');
H    = guidata(FigH);
Result = H.Result;

Or if you really have good reasons to pollute the base workspace (the one, which is visible in the command window), you can do this by:

Result = YourCalculations(Pop1Number, Pop2Number);
assignin('base', 'Result', Result);

Brrrr. The same problem as global variables: You have no chance to debug this efficiently and when you e.g. open several GUIs which create the same variable "Result", there is no chance to check, which GUI has created the final value. But of course, if you never get any confusions and open a single GUI only and are really sure, that you want to do this (and keep the warnings in your mind), assignin solves your problem.

hi jan in the example above I am trying to understand how you connect both functions with the function guidata guidata(H.Figure, H); function StartCB(ButtonH, EventData) H = guidata(ButtonH); how it works

@Patrick: guidata(H, Data) uses setappdata internally to store the variable "Data" in the 'ApplicationData' property of the GUI object with the handle H. To obtain the stored data use: Data = guidata(H), which calls getappdata internally. For further explanations and examples read doc guidata.
