Hello I am having some issue with my GUI. I am trying to set up a slider to create a time vector between two point. I have two sliders and will use one value and subtract the other value to create a time vector. Here is my GUI:

function varargout = Drive_Cycle_GUI(varargin)
% DRIVE_CYCLE_GUI MATLAB code for Drive_Cycle_GUI.fig
%      DRIVE_CYCLE_GUI, by itself, creates a new DRIVE_CYCLE_GUI or raises the existing
%      singleton*.
%
%      H = DRIVE_CYCLE_GUI returns the handle to a new DRIVE_CYCLE_GUI or the handle to
%      the existing singleton*.
%
%      DRIVE_CYCLE_GUI('CALLBACK',hObject,eventData,handles,...) calls the local
%      function named CALLBACK in DRIVE_CYCLE_GUI.M with the given input arguments.
%
%      DRIVE_CYCLE_GUI('Property','Value',...) creates a new DRIVE_CYCLE_GUI or raises the
%      existing singleton*.  Starting from the left, property value pairs are
%      applied to the GUI before Drive_Cycle_GUI_OpeningFcn gets called.  An
%      unrecognized property name or invalid value makes property application
%      stop.  All inputs are passed to Drive_Cycle_GUI_OpeningFcn via varargin.
%
%      *See GUI Options on GUIDE's Tools menu.  Choose "GUI allows only one
%      instance to run (singleton)".

function sl_left_call(varargin)

set(S.leftmarker,'Xdata',[get(h,'value') get(h,'value')])
%  setappdata(S.leftmarker,'leftposition','value')
%  getappdata(S.leftmarker,'leftposition')
function [] = sl_right_call(varargin)
% Callback for the slider.
[h,S] = varargin{[1,3]};  % calling handle and data structure.
set(S.rightmarker,'Xdata',[get(h,'value') get(h,'value')])

Right now everything works except not printing, I am in need of help on this part. I am pretty new to Matlab GUI.

Thank you

Can you explain that?

Adam 2017-4-28

You can put any code in e.g. pushbutton3_Callback that you could put on the command line so that is the usual way to respond to changes on the UI and have relevant code be automatically called rather than just dump parameters into the base workspace and wait for the functionality to be called afterwards from there. It seems to defeat the purpose of having a UI.

Using the base workspace to collect data is a bad idea. It suffers from the same problems as global variables (ask a search engine for details).

The standard way to solve this is to collect values inside a GUI (search for "share data between callbacks" in this forum) and start the calculations e.g. by a button. Then you can run multiple instances of the GUI or different GUIs with interferences.

You create the sliders dynamically inside the callback. This will be very confusing, if the button is pressed mutiple times.
