Creat List on a Plot to select multiple data sets

3 views (last 30 days)
I want to make a graph with up to 10 data sets plotted on it. My idea is to have the figure with a list where the user can select multiple entries to plot by holding control and clicking what they want to see on the graph. I believe this can be done with an uicontrol... anyone know how?

There are multiple ways of handling this. One is to provide toggle buttons to select the active graphs. Another is to provide a uitable column that the user toggles on or off the entries of. A third way is to provide a uicontrol('style','list', 'Max', 2) : with the Max parameter set to something larger than 1, the user is permitted to select multiple entries.

How do you let the user toggle whether the entries in a table are on or off? Or if it's easier, how would you set up toggle buttons so that more than one answer can be chosen? When I use toggle buttons, it will only let me select one button at a time.

For uitable, set the ColumnFormat to 'logical'
For toggle buttons, just create a bunch of them, and do not put them inside a uibuttongroup.
