I am not aware there is any way to dynamically populate a switch statement. However, you can populate the popup menu during runtime.
Assuming some database structures:
Database = {
'television' 'television.mat'
'toaster' 'toaster.mat'
'refrigerator' 'refrigerator.mat'
'microwave' 'microwave.mat'
}
And in each mat file contains x and y variables for plotting.
In the Opening Function of the popup menu, you can do:
set(hObject, 'String', Database(:,1));
to populate the menu.
And in the Callback Function of the popup menu,
selected = get(hObject, 'Value');
load( Database(selected,2) );
plot( handles.axes1, x, y );
where axes1 is the tag for the plot box in your GUI.
