Is it possible to plot patternCostums in appDesigner?

I have an interfae in appDesigner and I want to plot the a patternCostum graphic.

I was trying this line:

patternCustom(app.RadiationDiagram, E_sum, Theta_points, Phi_points), but it gives this error:

"The object provided as input is not supported; patternCustom only supports phased.CustomAntennaElement and

phased.IsotropicAntennaElement."

If I do this:

figure;

patternCustom(E_sum, Theta_points, Phi_points);

A figure with the patternCostum is opened. But I want this diagram in the interface. Is it possible?

Thank you very much!

pattenCustom does not work with uiaxes.

Try this workaround below. First create the diagram on an axes within a figure. Then transfer diagram to uiaxes.

helixdata = csvread('antennadata_test.csv',1,0);
axes_handle=patternCustom(helixdata(:,3),helixdata(:,2),helixdata(:,1));

uiaxes_handle = uiaxes % The uiaxes in your app might be called app.RadiationDiagram

Error using uiaxes
This functionality is not available on remote platforms.

axes_handle.Parent.Parent=uiaxes_handle

Did it work?

It appears the error in the image I sent

What is app.RadiationDiagram?

[Bárbara Matos]

It is already an uiaxes in my application

Please see the app attached.

I've already seen the app you sent. But on my computer that app doesn't work either. I press the button, it creates a separate picture and the app's graphics are blank. And it gives the error "Axes cannot be a child of UIAxes." I'm doing the same thing in my app and it doesn't work. I really don't understand why. I am using matlab 2021b.

Thank you very much for your help, I will keep trying!

Please see the app attach. The Children of the Axes in 2021b were not grouped together unlike in 2022a.

Aaaahhh, ok! Now I understand! It works very well. Thank you so much for your help and I apologize for the inconvenience. :)
