Open figure in editor instead of in new window

hello,

I've a creatfit function and I want to add the relative figure in editor , instead of launching a new window.

how fix it? tks

What is a "creatfit function"? What is a "relative figure"? How can a figure be opened in which editor?

Are you asking how to open a figure in docked mode?

If you're asking how to programmatically dock the figure, you can set its 'windowstyle' property.

In order to create a new empty figure, you can do this.

% create an empty docked figure
figure('windowstyle','docked')

At which point, you could plot in it as usual.

You could also set the property of a figure after the fact.

% just put something in a figure
inpict = imread('cameraman.tif');
imshow(inpict)

% dock the figure
set(gcf,'windowstyle','docked') % or use a specific fig handle

yes indeed I meant docked mode. "creatfit" is a function created by Matlab with "export script" from curve fitting app. so when i launch creafit(namefile) it opens a window with a plot.

I tried both with creatfit(namefile);figure('windowstyle','docked')

but it keeps popping out a window, which with creatfit(namefile);set(gcf,'windowstyle','docked')

but the window appears and disappears right after. what is the solution? Thank you

[DGM]

The exported script creates a new figure, so it won't use any figures created before or afterward. Unless you modify the script, you'll have to set the properties of the new figure after the script creates it.

It works for me when I either do

[fr gof] = createFit(x,y)
set(gcf,'windowstyle','docked')

or alternatively, if I modify the script:

% ...
% Plot fit with data.
figure( 'Name', 'untitled fit 1' , 'windowstyle','docked');
% ...

I think what might be happening is that there is no expected location for the docked figure. You might try docking an empty figure first so that MATLAB knows where you want the docked figure to go.

That said, I'm using R2019b, and lots of things have changed since.

this is the function. I've tried both way but doesn't work. it still launch a popup window

function [fitresult, gof] = createFit1(close)
%CREATEFIT1(RESPONSE)
%  Create a fit.
%
%  Data for 'untitled fit 1' fit:
%      Y Output: response from tbl
%  Output:
%      fitresult : a fit object representing the fit.
%      gof : structure with goodness-of fit info.

%% Fit: 'untitled fit 1'.
[xData, yData] = prepareCurveData( [], response );

% Set up fittype and options.
ft = fittype( 'poly3' );
opts = fitoptions( 'Method', 'LinearLeastSquares' );
opts.Normalize = 'on';
opts.Robust = 'Bisquare';

% Fit model to data.
[fitresult, gof] = fit( xData, yData, ft, opts );
set(gcf,'windowstyle','docked') %first try (doesn't work)
% Plot fit with data.
figure( 'Name', 'untitled fit 1' , 'windowstyle','docked'); %second try (doesn't work)
h = plot( fitresult, xData, yData, 'predobs' );
legend( h, 'close', 'untitled fit 1', 'Lower bounds (untitled fit 1)', 'Upper bounds (untitled fit 1)', 'Location', 'NorthEast', 'Interpreter', 'none' );
% Label axes
ylabel( 'response', 'Interpreter', 'none' );
grid on
