Matlab GUI: displaying a Transfer Function in a static text box

[RobuLAB]

I want to display a tranfer function in a static text box.
In my first attempt I coded everything and that worked fine but is sometimes difficult to read because everything is displayed, even the values that are zero.
I now would like to use the tf-command.
I wrote something like this to test:

text=tf([1 1 1 1 1],[2 2 2 2 2 2 2]);
set(handles.text1,'Value',text);

but that doesn't work. I changed 'Value' to 'string' but that also doesn't work.
anyone has any ideas?

thanks in Advance

Use EVALC to capture the display of the transfer function, and set the
String property of that text box to contain EVALC's output.

Thanks a lot! I'm glad to know that it's possible. However with my limited Matlab skills I don't seem to get it right.

So I tried:
k=tf([1 1 1 1 1],[2 2 2 2 2 2 2]);
T=EVALC(k);
set(handles.text1,'String',T);

but that doesn't work.

When I tried it in the command window without the set-instruction it just gave me error saying: ??? Undefined function or method 'EVALC' for input arguments of type 'tf'.
I'm thinking it has something to do with capturing the "display" of the transfer function and not the thing itself. But I don't really know what you mean by that.

Could you please elaborate and tell me what I'm doing wrong?

The input arguement to evalc should be the string that is to be evaluated.
Try

> k=tf([1 1 1 1 1],[2 2 2 2 2 2 2]);

> T=evalc('k');

T will be the string which is the display of the variable k

Hope that helps.

Unfortunately it doesn't work that way. But I now realise that the problem is that I need a string to be able to display something. A bit of googling on "tf to string" gave me some solutions. There's apparently no simple way of doing it. You have to break up the tf and convert each part separatly, but it works.

Thx for your help

num=[R];

I'm sorry, I don't know what I did wrong last time but it really does work now. I probably should do a little more trying before I state that something doesn't work.
Anyway I'm not going to use it since I found a way that gives me a little more control over what's printed and how.
e.g.:
My assignment is to specifically have 8 decimal digits so I adapted some code to be able to show all of those digits.
Since I'm using discrete-time transfer functions I have my sampling time printed when using evalc. I don't really need nor want that.

If anyone is interested, I'm willing to put the code here but I have to say that most of it isn't my work. I found some usefull code on the internet and adapted it to my needs.

Hello
I have multiple results that I want to display in Edit Text
but I can not use this :set(handles.text1,'String',T);

for example I want to display following results in Edit text :

Number of station= 2
Number of Observation= 21

Adjusted coordinates
X y
100.01 11.09
111 23.78

Covariance Matrix
1
4
6
5
11
9

I have all these result from my function in GUI and I want to display them in Edit text and then save them in text file.

tnx

This works for me:
---
function pushbutton2_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
k=tf([1 1],[2 2 9]);
T=evalc('k');
%set(handles.textprinter1, 'String', mass);
set(handles.textprinter1, 'String', T);
---
Tschuss!

can u send your code to my email sir..

Its a little TOO late for an answer this, but for furter records, that didn't worked for me neither....

The only problem was the size of the text element.

Try making it bigger and check ;)
