PolarAxes in Matlab App Designer

Hello,

Simply, I need a way to define a PolarAxes object under parent object in Matlab App Designer. I tried the following code, but it doesn't work.!

pax = polaraxes(app.parent) 

Hint: I took a look at the example of plotting polar plot in App Designer in the documentation, but I don't know where to find the actual code.

From the Release Notes it appears support for polaraxes in App Designer apps was added in release R2018b.

Is there a way to update my version to 2018b by downloading the comulitive update files?

[Steven Lord]

No, there is no "install this collection of files to upgrade release X to release X+1" package. Each general release is independent of previous releases. [For recent releases, there are update releases but those apply bug fixes to a specific release, like release R2020a to R2020a Update 1.]

Depending on your license and your maintenance you may be able to download and install release R2018b or a later release.

Example taken from this website

theta = 0:0.01:2*pi;
rho = sin(2*theta).*cos(2*theta);
pax = polaraxes(app.Panel);
polarplot(pax,theta,rho)

[Taha Adel]

Here's the error output I got when I called this function

pax = polaraxes(app.Panel);

[Mario Malic]

What version of MATLAB do you have?

[Taha Adel]

MATLAB 2018a

[Mario Malic]

Replace app.Panel with handle to your parent uifigure. This works on 2020b, also, there's a demo app in the App Designer itself that uses polar plot, check if your version has one.

 pax = polaraxes(app.UIFigure);

[Taha Adel]

Unfortunately, I couldn't find any demos related to polar plot in the software :( and the PolarAxes function still doesn't work by any means.

[Mario Malic]

So I guess polar axes are not supported in 2018a.
