smart plotter program - design an application that displays a menu to ask the user to choose whether to: in matlab

To create this application, we can use MATLAB's GUIDE (Graphical User Interface Development Environment) to design a GUI that displays the menu to choose between different types of plots and to display the output.

Here are the steps to create this program:

  1. Open MATLAB and create a new project.

  2. Create a new GUI using GUIDE. You can add a drop-down menu to allow the user to choose between different types of plots and a button to execute the plot.

  3. When the user selects a type of plot from the drop-down menu and clicks the button, the program should execute the appropriate MATLAB plot function, such as plot, scatter, bar, etc.

  4. The plot should be displayed in a plot window within the GUI.

Here's an example code snippet that creates a GUI with a drop-down menu to select the type of plot and a button to execute the plot:

main.m
function smart_plotter_GUI

% Create main figure
fig = figure('Units', 'normalized', 'Position', [0.2 0.2 0.6 0.6]);

% Create drop-down menu to select type of plot
plot_type_text = uicontrol('Style', 'text', 'String', 'Select plot type:', 'Units', 'normalized', 'Position', [0.1 0.9 0.3 0.1]);
plot_type_menu = uicontrol('Style', 'popupmenu', 'String', {'Line Plot', 'Scatter Plot', 'Bar Plot'}, 'Units', 'normalized', 'Position', [0.4 0.9 0.3 0.1]);

% Create button to execute plot
plot_button = uicontrol('Style', 'pushbutton', 'String', 'Plot', 'Units', 'normalized', 'Position', [0.7 0.9 0.2 0.1], 'Callback', @execute_plot);

% Create axes to display plot
axes_handle = axes('Units', 'normalized', 'Position', [0.1 0.1 0.8 0.8]);

    function execute_plot(~, ~)
        % Get selected plot type from menu
        plot_type = plot_type_menu.String{plot_type_menu.Value};

        % Execute appropriate plot function
        switch plot_type
            case 'Line Plot'
                plot(axes_handle, randn(1,100));
            case 'Scatter Plot'
                scatter(axes_handle, randn(1,100), randn(1,100));
            case 'Bar Plot'
                bar(axes_handle, randn(1,10));
        end
    end

end

You can save this code to a file with a .m extension and run it in MATLAB to create the GUI. When you select a plot type and click the "Plot" button, the corresponding plot will be displayed in the axes within the GUI.
