Adding Callback to stackedplot

I'm currently writing a class that is using a stackedplot to display a selected rows of a Timetable. You are loading a big Timetable into the stackedplot, after that you can set the rows of the timetable that will be displayed via a gui. The problem is, that once it's set you can not recall the gui to set the DisplayVariables of the stackedplot again. Is there any way to add a callback to my class or the stackedplot so that i cann call the function that recalls the gui.

Options i already thougt of were either adding a tool to the axis toolbox or working with listeners, but i couldn't get any of those to run.

Hi Maximilian,

I guess one straightforward way to achieve this is by adding a UI control (e.g., a button) to your figure that, when clicked, invokes the GUI for selecting "DisplayVariable".

Here is an example script that may help.

function createInteractiveStackedPlot(TT)
% Create a figure
f = figure;

% Create a stacked plot
sp = stackedplot(TT);

% Add a button for adjusting DisplayVariables
btn = uicontrol('Style', 'pushbutton', 'String', 'Change Variables',...
    'Position', [20 20 150 20],...
    'Callback', @changeDisplayVariables);

    function changeDisplayVariables(src, event)
        % Callback function to invoke GUI for changing DisplayVariables
        % Here, you would implement or call your GUI for selecting variables
        disp('Implement your GUI logic here');
        % Example: Update DisplayVariables (You'll replace this with GUI logic)
        sp.DisplayVariables = TT.Properties.VariableNames(randperm(width(TT), 3));
    end
end

Thanks, i also think that implementing this will be quite easy as you said, but i'd love to have a cleaner solution regarding optical apperance. I also thougt of adding a context menu but that did not work either
