在现有轴内显示新图像 w/o 删除颜色条

Showing a new image inside existing axes w/o deleting the colorbar

我正在开发一个 GUI,它正在通过创建多个 axes along with an invisible colorbar for each one (this is done so that axes maintain their predefined Position)1 进行初始化。存储所有轴和颜色条的句柄。

与 UI 的交互可能会导致图像绘制在任何一个轴上。我只想在任何给定时间显示 active 轴的颜色条,方法是适当设置所有颜色条的 Visible 属性。

我在使用这种方法时遇到了问题,因为我正在使用 imagesc 来更新我的坐标轴,这会删除与坐标轴关联的任何颜色条,从而使存储的句柄无效。

我的问题是:如何使用 imagescimage 更新与颜色条关联的轴,而不删除颜色条?

重现此问题的方法如下:

dbclear in newplot %// Needed for the code to be properly re-runnable
%// Create an example figure containing a colorbar:
figure(); imagesc(imread('cameraman.tif')); colorbar;
%// "Refreshing" the displayed image:
uiwait(msgbox('The image will now be refreshed. A breakpoint will be set in newplot.m'));
dbstop in newplot at 124 %// The line responsible for deleting the colorbar in R2015A/B
imagesc(imread('cameraman.tif'));

newplot.m中设置断点的行是:

cla(ax, 'reset', hsave);

令人惊讶的是,这是一种未记录的调用 cla(带有 3 个参数)的方式,它保留了在 hsave.

中找到其句柄的对象

我假设删除颜色条是不可避免的一些想法(如果找不到“合理”的解决方案,我会继续这样做):

  1. DeleteFcn 绑定到将其数据保存到某些 struct 的颜色栏。在 imagesc 完成后创建一个新的颜色条,然后遍历 struct 的字段并将所有属性分配给新的颜色条对象。
  2. 使用 findall(hFig,'type','colorbar')“每隔一段时间”检查所有颜色条是否存在,或者根据下面的附录验证每个轴是否具有有效的 ColorbarPeerHandle。如果无效,请重新创建 CB。
  3. 当不同的轴激活时删除所有颜色条,只创建我想显示的 CB。

附录 - ColorBar/Axes 关联:

我想出了几个解决方案:

  1. safeUpdateImage1 - 基于通过在使用 hold 后在轴内创建新的 Image 对象来规避 cla(...)。这对于轴中不一定存在 Image 的情况很有用。
  2. safeUpdateImage2 - 继 之后,基于更新现有的 Image 对象。这对于已经有 ColorBar 与轴关联的 Image 的情况很有用。

下面是对原始问题的两种解决方案的演示:

function [] = Problem
dbclear in newplot %// Needed for the code to be properly re-runnable
%// Create an example figure containing a colorbar:
Img = imread('cameraman.tif');
figure(); imagesc(Img); hAx = gca; colorbar;
%// Refreshing the displayed image (comment/uncomment as needed):
switch questdlg('Please select an image update method:','Update method selection',...
                'Broken','Safe1','Safe2','Safe1')
  case 'Broken'
    brokenUpdateImage(hAx,255-Img);
  case 'Safe1'
    safeUpdateImage1(hAx,255-Img);
  case 'Safe2'
  safeUpdateImage2(hAx,255-Img);  
end
end

function brokenUpdateImage(hAx,newImg)
uiwait(msgbox('The image will now be refreshed. A breakpoint will be set in NEWPLOT'));
dbstop in newplot at 124 %// The line responsible for deleting the colorbar in R2015A/B
imagesc(newImg,'Parent',hAx);
end

% For cases when the only desired child is an Image and the axes contents are unknown
function safeUpdateImage1(hAx,newImg,imgType,imgUpdateFcn)
if nargin < 4 || isempty(imgUpdateFcn)
  imgUpdateFcn = @imagesc;
end
if nargin < 3 || isempty(imgType)
  imgType = 'Image';  
end
if strcmp(hAx.NextPlot,'replace') %// Equivalent to checking "ishold == false"
  hAx.NextPlot = 'add'; %// Equivalent to "hold on"
  %// hCurrImgs = get(hAx,'Children'); %// Deletes all types of Children
  hCurrImgs = findall(hAx,'type','Image'); %// Deletes only graphical objects of type 
                                           %// "matlab.graphics.primitive.Image"
  for ind1=1:numel(hCurrImgs)
    delete(hCurrImgs(ind1));
  end
  imgUpdateFcn(newImg,'Parent',hAx);
  if strcmpi(imgType,'Image')
    axis(hAx,'tight','ij');    
%// 'tight' - XLimMode, YLimMode, and ZLimMode change to 'auto'. The limits automatic- 
%//           ally update to incorporate new data added to the axes. To keep the limits
%//           from changing when using hold on, use axis tight manual.
%// 'ij'  —   Reverse direction. For axes with a 2-D view, the y-axis is vertical with
%//           values increasing from top to bottom.    
  end
end
end

%// When it's known that the axes contains at least one Image:
function safeUpdateImage2(hAx,newImg,~,~)
%// <Input checking code>
hCurrImgs = findall(hAx,'type','Image');
%// <Optional code to decide which Image child to update>
hCurrImgs(1).CData = newImg; %// In this example, only update the "topmost" child
end
