Kyle - rather than using cellSelectionCallback (which only seems to fire when you select a new cell within the uitable), you could try to use the CellEditCallback instead. Since selecting and deselecting a checkbox within a uitable (which I'm assuming that you are doing based on a previous post) changes the state of the checkbox from checked (true) to unchecked (false) then this is equivalent to editing the cell.
On R2014a, I was able to create the table (using your past post as a guide) as
t = uitable('Units','normalized','Position',...
[0.1 0.1 0.9 0.9], 'Data', tableData,...
'ColumnName', columnNames, ...
'ColumnEditable', true,...
'CellEditCallback', @onCellSelected);
The callback would then be something like
function onCellSelected(hObject, data)
fprintf('selecting cell (%d,%d)\n', data.Indices(1), data.Indices(2));
col = data.Indices(2);
if col == 2 % if the column of checkboxes is selected
row = data.Indices(1); % get the row
myData = get(t,'Data'); % get the uitable data
isChecked = myData{row, col}; % is the checkbox checked (true) or not (false)
if isChecked
% plot the function
else
% delete the drawn function
end
end
You can delete the drawn function if you keep a handle to its graphics object. To do this, create a local variable within your parent function (and so is visible to the nested callback function) that is an array of handles for each of the three graphics objects (assuming that you are drawing one for sin, cos, and tan).
function createMyTable
f = ...;
t = ...;
plotHandles = zeros(3,1);
function onCellSelected(hObject, data)
...
end
end
Then, in the callback, we would save the plot graphics object handle as
if isChecked
plotHandles(row) = plot(...);
elseif ishandle(plotHandles(row))
delete(plotHandles(row));
plotHandles(row) = 0;
end
We use ishandle to verify that the object we are going to delete is a valid handle (to a graphics object).
