app designer output data

How can I save app designer data as an output file, like a .csv? How can I save app designer figures? When will this functionality be added?

[Kenneth Befus]

bb = linspace(-pi,pi,50); y = 5*sin(bb); plot(app.UIAxes, bb,y);

assignin('base', 'bbb', bb)

There will be a 'bbb' data added to the normal matlab workspace

You may want to look at uisave. This saves your data at your selected location in dialog box. This will save in a mat-file.

If you specifically want a .csv file this stackoverflow answer might help.

Hope this answers your question.

There are quite a few ways of going about your problem.

• you could use assignin() to move your data to the workspace as per your suggestion. Documentation
• Use this setappdata function to store data in a UI. You can retrieve the data elsewhere in your code using the getappdata function. Both of these functions provide a convenient way to share data between callbacks or between separate UIs.
• If you want to write the saved data to a csv file, you can use the writematrix function
