How do i make figures plotted in Matlab to appear in a chronological order?

18 views (last 30 days)
I have 5 figures plotted .As we know , the cursor Matlab always takes us to the final 5th figure when we finsih our simulation.
How do i make figure 1 come first , then figure 2 , 3 , 4 and then 5 in an order?
Thank you in advance

You can bring focus to a figure with the figure function:
h=struct;
h.f=zeros(1,5);%will contain the handles to the figures
for n=1:5
h.f(n)=figure(n)
plot(rand(1,10),1:10)
end
%bring focus to the figures in reverse order
for n=numel(h.f):-1:1
figure(h.f(n))
end

Note that this only brings the focus to the figures visually and will work for most applications. In edge cases you might need the function below (written by Jan, which he recently posted again here).
function FocusToFig(ObjH, EventData)
FigH = ancestor(ObjH, 'figure');
% Work-around
if strcmpi(get(ObjH, 'Type'), 'uicontrol')
set(ObjH, 'Enable', 'off');
drawnow;
set(ObjH, 'Enable', 'on');
pause(0.02); % Give the re-enabled control a chance to be rendered
end
% Methods according to the documentation (does not move the focus for
% keyboard events under Matlab 5.3, 6.5, 2008b, 2009a):
figure(FigH);
set(groot, 'CurrentFigure', FigH);
end
