How to share variables in different callback function?

2 views (last 30 days)
In my code,xdata exists in 'pushbutton1_Callback' function
function pushbutton1_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
handles.xdata = xdata;
guidata(hObject,handles);
Then the xdata exists in handles.However,when I use ‘pushbutton1_Callback’ function in function ‘pushbutton2_Callback’,the xdata somehow disappears.
function pushbutton2_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
pushbutton1_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
I want to know what's wrong with it.And how can I get the xdata in pushbutton2_Callback.Thanks!

function pushbutton1_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
handles = guidata(hObject); % Get gui data
handles.xdata = xdata; % Add your data gui data
guidata(hObject,handles); % Update the gui data with new value
function pushbutton2_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
handles = guidata(hObject); % Get gui data
my_xdata = handles.xdata ; % Get your variable

Please read the documentation on the "guidata" function.
It may be easier if you think in terms of "master copy" (the two-input form of guidata updates the master copy) and "local version" (the one-input form of guidata copies the master copy into a local version that you can then make local revisions to.) And different routines can have different local copies and any of them might update the master copy when the routines have control.
