Simple menu selection plot dependent on radio button selection (App designer)

Hello,
I am trying to design a simple app on app designer with 3 components, a UI axes, a drop down menu, and radio buttons. The drop down menu has two options to select from as a starting place, the user would then have to choose one of two options from the drop down menu in order to display the corresponding plot (total 4 plots for each case):
Plots:
1) Periodic & pretty plot (x1,y1)
2) Periodic & not pretty plot (x4,y4)
3) Non periodic & not pretty plot (x2,y2)
4) Non periodic & pretty plot ( x3,y3)
My attempt at this is to first read the table from the excel file I have, and then use switch/case statements along with if else conditions as follows:
classdef Simple_App_Test < matlab.apps.AppBase
% Properties that correspond to app components
properties (Access = public)
UIFigure matlab.ui.Figure
UIAxes matlab.ui.control.UIAxes
BeautyDropDownLabel matlab.ui.control.Label
BeautyDropDown matlab.ui.control.DropDown
DataTypeButtonGroup matlab.ui.container.ButtonGroup
PeriodicButton matlab.ui.control.RadioButton
NonperiodicButton matlab.ui.control.RadioButton
end
% Callbacks that handle component events
methods (Access = private)
% Code that executes after component creation
function startupFcn(app)
dataset = readtable('App_test.xlsx');
x1 = dataset(:,1);
x2 = dataset(:,3);
x3 = dataset(:,5);
x4 = dataset(:,7);
y1 = dataset(:,2);
y2 = dataset(:,4);
y3 = dataset(:,6);
y4 = dataset(:,8);
end
% Selection changed function: DataTypeButtonGroup
function DataTypeButtonGroupSelectionChanged(app, event)
selectedButton = app.DataTypeButtonGroup.SelectedObject;
value = app.DataTypeButtonGroup.Value;
switch value
case "Periodic"
if app.BeautyDropDown.Value == 'Pretty'
plot(app.UIAxes,x1,y1);
else
plot(app.UIAxes,x4,y4);
end
case "Non periodic"
if app.BeautyDropDown.Value == 'Not Pretty'
plot(app.UIAxes,x2,y2);
else
plot(app.UIAxes,x3,y3);
end
end
end
% Value changed function: BeautyDropDown
function BeautyDropDownValueChanged(app, event)
value = app.BeautyDropDown.Value;
end
end
% Component initialization
methods (Access = private)
% Create UIFigure and components
function createComponents(app)
% Create UIFigure and hide until all components are created
app.UIFigure = uifigure('Visible', 'off');
app.UIFigure.Position = [100 100 640 480];
app.UIFigure.Name = 'MATLAB App';
% Create UIAxes
app.UIAxes = uiaxes(app.UIFigure);
title(app.UIAxes, 'Title')
xlabel(app.UIAxes, 'X')
ylabel(app.UIAxes, 'Y')
app.UIAxes.Position = [90 159 450 291];
% Create BeautyDropDownLabel
app.BeautyDropDownLabel = uilabel(app.UIFigure);
app.BeautyDropDownLabel.HorizontalAlignment = 'right';
app.BeautyDropDownLabel.Position = [353 71 43 22];
app.BeautyDropDownLabel.Text = 'Beauty';
% Create BeautyDropDown
app.BeautyDropDown = uidropdown(app.UIFigure);
app.BeautyDropDown.Items = {'Pretty', 'Not Pretty'};
app.BeautyDropDown.ValueChangedFcn = createCallbackFcn(app, @BeautyDropDownValueChanged, true);
app.BeautyDropDown.Position = [411 71 100 22];
app.BeautyDropDown.Value = 'Not Pretty';
% Create DataTypeButtonGroup
app.DataTypeButtonGroup = uibuttongroup(app.UIFigure);
app.DataTypeButtonGroup.SelectionChangedFcn = createCallbackFcn(app, @DataTypeButtonGroupSelectionChanged, true);
app.DataTypeButtonGroup.Title = 'Data Type';
app.DataTypeButtonGroup.Position = [120 29 123 106];
% Create PeriodicButton
app.PeriodicButton = uiradiobutton(app.DataTypeButtonGroup);
app.PeriodicButton.Text = 'Periodic';
app.PeriodicButton.Position = [11 60 65 22];
app.PeriodicButton.Value = true;
% Create NonperiodicButton
app.NonperiodicButton = uiradiobutton(app.DataTypeButtonGroup);
app.NonperiodicButton.Text = 'Non periodic';
app.NonperiodicButton.Position = [11 38 89 22];
% Show the figure after all components are created
app.UIFigure.Visible = 'on';
end
end
% App creation and deletion
methods (Access = public)
% Construct app
function app = Simple_App_Test
% Create UIFigure and components
createComponents(app)
% Register the app with App Designer
registerApp(app, app.UIFigure)
% Execute the startup function
runStartupFcn(app, @startupFcn)
if nargout == 0
clear app
end
end
% Code that executes before app deletion
function delete(app)
% Delete UIFigure when app is deleted
delete(app.UIFigure)
end
end
end
Here is a screen shot of the design view:

I tried running the app but nothing gets plotted on the axis no matter what selection I make... I would really appreciate any guidence on this.
