Plot axis in a waitbar figure

Hi,

I would like to add a plot axis with information given by user to the waitbar handle. In this axis we might plot anything we want: for example , the percentage of the progress bar along time or some data which requires computer-intensive processing. I do not even know how to start. Hence, any help is be appreciated.

Best regards,

Bruno Peixoto

It's much easier to write your own.

For general advice and examples for how to create a GUI (and avoid using GUIDE), have look at this thread.

waitbar() returns the handle of a traditional figure.

wb = waitbar(stuff)

Data is stored against the figure handle and can be retrieved:

wbhandles = guidata(wb);

Now wbhandles.axes will be the handle to the axes that the waitbar created, and you can manipulate that handle, including drawing or changing graphics objects there.
