how can i call two push buttons from the 3rd push button in GUI without disabling any pushbuttons?

this is my code. when i press signal1_pushbutton--> output signal will appear. similarly,signal2_pushbutton. now i wan to stop the signal by using stop push button.

these are the conditions, i want to satisfy:-

 1.press signal1---stops the signal by using stop button. 
 2.lly, signal2.  
 3.But when i press signal2 after signal1, the stop button shoulde be able(on) state, but it wont respond!!!

how can i do that? suggestions are appreciated!

 function varargout = trail1(varargin)

 % TRAIL1 MATLAB code for trail1.fig
 %      TRAIL1, by itself, creates a new TRAIL1 or raises the existing
 %      singleton*.
 %
 %      H = TRAIL1 returns the handle to a new TRAIL1 or the handle to
 %      the existing singleton*.
 %
 %      TRAIL1('CALLBACK',hObject,eventData,handles,...) calls the local
 %      function named CALLBACK in TRAIL1.M with the given input arguments.
 %
 %      TRAIL1('Property','Value',...) creates a new TRAIL1 or raises the
 %      existing singleton*.  Starting from the left, property value pairs are
 %      applied to the GUI before trail1_OpeningFcn gets called.  An
 %      unrecognized property name or invalid value makes property application
 %      stop.  All inputs are passed to trail1_OpeningFcn via varargin.
 %
 %      *See GUI Options on GUIDE's Tools menu.  Choose "GUI allows only one
 %      instance to run (singleton)".

but stop is not working as i want??? any suggestions please!!

Please explain "is not working as i want" with details. We cannot guess, what you want and what you observe. Providing details is much better than a meaningless bumping by a dummy comment or by adding comments to other questions to advertise your own one.

What exactly does "stops the signal" mean?

[Ram]

As per attached graph, when i press start button the signal is moving like a animated curve. when i press stop push button, the signal should be stop. likewise, attack signal(noise or any other signal) also should work. And also, when i press in the sequence start-->attack---> stop button should not respond. i written 'if else loop' to execute above requirements, stop button is not responding for two buttons. and also there is no error occurring while running my code. calling function is working or not here?? and sorry for posting in another question.

See attached demo where you can use the pushbutton to start or stop a process.

[Ram]

Not enough input argument.....

set(handles.attack_pushbutton, 'userdata', 0);

In the mentioned code I used:

set(gca,'XLim',[0 1000],'YLim',[-1 1]);

Can I write two set functions one after other? I don't know about any GUI. Please, can you tell me briefly?

[Image Analyst]

That's your code, not my code. My code works and it does not even have any control with the tag "attack_pushbutton".

If you want, you can call xlim and ylim by themselves.

xlim([0, 1000]);
ylim([-1, 1]);

[Ram]

thanks, i tried even changing axis. but occurring an error-- not enough input arguments for set(....). Here, start_pushbutton is tag of that particular start button. Yes your code is running perfect(here i am not using any text boxes). and i am unable to get it? should i need to write any thing in opening function?

[Image Analyst]

This works just fine:

x = 1:1000;
y = rand(1, 1000);
plot(x, y, '-')
set(gca,'XLim',[0 1000],'YLim',[-1 1]);

Does it work for you?

[Ram]

same thing i have written in my code. and its working but i am failed to calling a stop button?? i am getting nervous how can i fulfill my requirements because i am trying many ways but not succeeding as per my code.

[Ram]

@Image Analyst, How can i call stop button to stop the signal when the stop signal is pressed.

 % --- Executes on button press in sine.
 function sine_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
 % hObject    handle to sine (see GCBO)
 % eventdata  reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB
 % handles    structure with handles and user data (see GUIDATA)
 cla;
 x=0:0.1:100;
 f=sin(x);
 y=f+sqrt(x).*randn(size(x))+1; %signal+noise
 curve = animatedline;
 set(gca,'XLim',[0 100],'YLim',[-1 1]);
 grid on;
 for i = 1:length(x)
    addpoints(curve, x(i), y(i));
    drawnow 
 end

Below code, sine wave continuously viewing @ output. when i press stop button it stops only after reaching its max. x-axis(1000 sec). otherwise the loop will continue.

How can i stop the signal in middle for example 30 or 50 or any time as per pushed the stop button.

 % --- Executes on button press in random.
 function sine2_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
 % hObject    handle to random (see GCBO)
 % eventdata  reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB
 % handles    structure with handles and user data (see GUIDATA)
 cla;
 set(handles.stop, 'userdata', 0);
 while(1)
    x=0:0.1:100;
    f=sin(x);
    comet(f);
  if get(handles.stop, 'userdata') % stop condition
   break;
  end
end
% --- Executes on button press in stop.
function stop_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
% hObject    handle to stop (see GCBO)
% eventdata  reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB
% handles    structure with handles and user data (see GUIDATA)
set(handles.stop, 'userdata', 1)

[Image Analyst]

Can you attach the .fig file and .m file and any other files necessary to run it and then tell me what I have to do to start and stop the process.

[Ram]

please have a look. thanks for your respond
