Finding a hidden function

when i start my .m file i get an error pointing to a function:

matlab.graphics.internal.figfile.FigFile/read>@(hObject,eventdata)GUI_2D_prestuptepla('tkon_CreateFcn',hObject,eventdata,guidata(hObject))

where "prestuptepla" should be "FlatPlate"

I am unable to find the location of this function to change it, the find function in matlab cannot locate it. How can i get to the function (which does not show anywhere) to fix the name so i won't get the error?

Is this from a GUIDE GUI or is it just an m-file?

Most likely this callback is defined inside the FIG file. Open in in GUIDE and check the callbacks there.

This happened because you renamed the GUIDE-created GUI_2D_prestuptepla to something else.

The easiest way to fix it is to go back to the un-renamed version in GUIDE and tell GUIDE to save it under the new name.

i am afraid i have made too many modifications to start again. i was hoping i could just find the location in the fig file and edit it.

You will need to pull it into GUIDE and use the property editor to edit the tkon CreateFcn property, which will be the anonymous function

@(hObject,eventdata)GUI_2D_prestuptepla('tkon_CreateFcn',hObject,eventdata,guidata(hObject)

You will need to replace that with the equivalent referring to your proper function.

If you encountered this problem once then you are likely to encounter it again.

Or... you could add a second file (has to be a separate file)

function varargout = GUI_2D_prestuptepla(varargin)
   if nargout > 0
    [varargout{1:nargout}] = GUI_2D_FlatPlate(varargin{:});
   else
     GUI_2D_FlatPlate(varargin{:});
   end
 end

That would have the advantage of catching all of the problems.
