Get clim values from colormap and adjust them in real time

I am trying to get the cmin and cmax values from a colormap, output them to editfields and let the user change them to update the plot in real time.

s = trisurf(F,P(:,1),P(:,2),P(:,3), Thickness2, 'Parent', app.UIAxes2_5);
c = colorbar(app.UIAxes2_5);
d = colormap(app.UIAxes2_5, jet);
d.clim([cmin cmax]); %Error: unrecognized function or variable 'cmin'

app.MinEditField.Enable = 'on';
app.MinEditField.Value = cmin;
app.MaxEditField.Enable = 'on';
app.MaxEditField.Value = cmax;
      

I also want the faceAlpha to be 0 for values above cmax and below cmin. But before I reach there, I get an error.

boyaa, let me show you how to do that in a simple matlab figure. then figure it out yourself, how to do it for uiaxes

ax = gca;
mesh(ax,rand(100,100));
colormap(ax,'jet')
[cmin cmax] = deal(ax.CLim);

Now you have current cmin and cmax value.

change their value in Clim

ax.CLim = [0.1 1]

Thanks. This was helpful.

Two problems here:

1. "deal" doesn't work. cmin and cmax give the same result (min and max together in two columns).
2. gca doesn't seem to work in app designer

This one did the job:

x = app.UIAxes2_5.CLim;
cmin = x(:,1);
cmax= x(:,2);

Use clim(app.UIAxes2_5,[cmin cmax])

Thanks but getting the same error.
