How to add a ButtonGroup in MATLAB ?
ButtonGroup allows users to manage toggle buttons and radio buttons in the figure. ButtonGroup object can be created using uibuttongroup() method.
Different syntaxes of uibuttongroup() are
- bg = uibuttongroup()
- bg = uibuttongroup(Name,Value)
- bg = uibuttongroup(parent,Name,Value)
Now, let us discuss the above syntaxes in detail:
Using uibuttongroup()
- It creates a button group in the current figure and returns the buttonGroup object.
- In the following example, radio buttons are inserted in the button group.
Matlab
% Creating a ButtonGroup object bg = uibuttongroup(); % Create three radio buttons in the % button group r1 = uicontrol(bg,'Style',... 'radiobutton',... 'String','MATLAB',... 'Position',[120 350 200 50]); r2 = uicontrol(bg,'Style','radiobutton',... 'String','Python',... 'Position',[120 250 200 50]); r3 = uicontrol(bg,'Style','radiobutton',... 'String','Javascript',... 'Position',[120 150 200 50]); |
Output :
Using uibuttongroup(Name, Value)
- It allows specifying the properties of ButtonGroup by mentioning the Name-Value pair arguments.
- Some properties are ‘Visible’, ‘Position’, ForegroundColor, etc.
Matlab
% Create a buttonGroup object bg = uibuttongroup('Visible','on',... "Title","India States",... "TitlePosition","centertop",... "BackgroundColor",'r',... 'Position',[0 0 .5 1]); % Create three radio buttons in the button group r1 = uicontrol(bg,'Style',... 'radiobutton',... 'String','Andhra Pradesh',... 'Position',[50 350 100 30]); r2 = uicontrol(bg,'Style','radiobutton',... 'String','Kerala',... 'Position',[50 250 100 30]); r3 = uicontrol(bg,'Style','radiobutton',... 'String','Assam',... 'Position',[50 150 100 30]); % Make the uibuttongroup visible after creating child objects. bg.Visible = 'on'; |
Output :
Using uibuttongroup(parent, Name, Value)
- It creates buttonGroup object with specified properties in the parent container.
- The following example displays the button group containing in a figure.
Matlab
% Parent container fig = uifigure; % Inserting buttonGroup into parent container bg = uibuttongroup(fig,'Position',[20 20 200 200]); % Adding Toggle buttons in the button group tb1 = uitogglebutton(bg,'Position',[11 165 140 22],'Text','1'); tb2 = uitogglebutton(bg,'Position',[11 140 140 22],'Text','2'); tb3 = uitogglebutton(bg,'Position',[11 115 140 22],'Text','3'); tb4 = uitogglebutton(bg,'Position',[11 90 140 22],'Text','4'); tb5 = uitogglebutton(bg,'Position',[11 65 140 22],'Text','5'); tb6 = uitogglebutton(bg,'Position',[11 40 140 22],'Text','6'); |
