linking properties in object oriented code
5 views (last 30 days)
Show older comments
I have an object oriented code where I want to be able to link several properties in several manners. e.g. "these properties are always equal", "these properties maintain a ratio of 5" etc. these are not properites of the same object, and sometimes not of objects from the same class.
I was thinking of using linkprop but it is not recommended for objects other than graphic objects. also to the best of my knowledge it can only link properties as equal.
I was thinking of adding postset listeners to the properties where the callback function changes the other properties accordingly, but I am not sure how to prevent recursive calling. i.e one function changes the other property changing the first one etc.
would be thankfull for any assistance

it is possible using Post set events.
I am working on an MVVM toolbox which relies on post set events (TaDuAs/Flow: Framework for matlab (github.com))
heres an example which uses a similar notion
The attachment has 3 classes:
ObjectA - a generic handle class with set-observable properties
PropertyBinding - represents a single bound object, its property and an update function
PropertyBinder - manages the bindings for a list of objects.
How to use:
% a simple binding example which copies the values of specified proeprties
% between the objects in the list.
list = {ObjectA(), ObjectA(), ObjectA()};
props = {'X', 'X', 'Y'};
pb = PropertyBinder(list, props);
list{1}.X = 100;
list{1}
list{2}
list{3}
% a more complex relationship, where some of the bindings copy the value
% as-is and some alter the copied value
list2 = {ObjectA(), ObjectA(), ObjectA()};
props2 = {'X', 'X', 'Y'};
pb2(1) = PropertyBinder(list([1,3]), props([1,3]), {@(x) x/5, @(x) x*5});
pb(2) = PropertyBinder(list([2,3]), props([2,3]), {@(x) x/5, @(x) x*5})
pb(3) = PropertyBinder(list(1:2), props(1:2));
list{1}.X = 100;
list{1}
list{2}
list{3}
