Hello,

I have a GUI that I've generated that gives options for different types of plots that when selected shows up in the specified uipanel. However, for one particular plot, when I hit the "Save" button, it will not save in *.fig format. However, it will save in *.png format. I do not have this problem with any of the other plots. Can anyone tell me what's going on here?

I get the following error when trying to save in *.fig format:
***************
??? Error using ==> getProxyValueFromHandle at 15
Input must be a valid handle.

Error in ==> plotedit at 91
[varargout{1:nargout}] = feval(args{:});

Error in ==> specgraph.barseries.preserialize at 10
peerVals = plotedit({'getProxyValueFromHandle',hPeers});

Error in ==> hgsave at 149
olddata{i}(2*k-1:2*k) = {hh,preserialize(hh)};

Error in ==> saveasfig at 7
hgsave( h, name );

Error in ==> saveas at 126
feval( ['saveas' format], h, name )

Error in ==> FrequencyGUI>SavePlot_Callback at 1093
saveas(newfig,[pathname,'figures\',handles.imgname(1:end-4)],'fig')

Error in ==> gui_mainfcn at 96

Error in ==>

??? Error while evaluating uicontrol Callback
*****************
I use the following code to setup the axes in the uipanel, plot the data, and save the plot:

*****************
%Create axes upon opening the GUI
function FrequencyGUI_OpeningFcn(hObject, eventdata, handles, varargin)
handles.ax1=axes('Units','inches','Position',[0.5,3,5,2],'Parent',handles.PlotPanel3);
handles.ax2=axes('Units','inches','Position',[5,3,2,2],'Parent',handles.PlotPanel3);
handles.ax3=axes('Units','inches','Position',[0.5,0.5,5,2],'Parent',handles.PlotPanel3);
handles.ax4=axes('Units','inches','Position',[5,0.5,2,2],'Parent',handles.PlotPanel3);

% Choose default command line output for FrequencyGUI
handles.output = hObject;

% Update handles structure
guidata(hObject, handles);

%Plot the data
function Plot_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
PlotVal=get(handles.PlotOption,'Value');
x=handles.x;
y=handles.y;
pdfx=handles.pdfx;
pdfy=handles.pdfy;
bins=handles.bins;
t=handles.t;

switch
case 1
%plot 1
cla(handles.ax1)
plot(handles.ax1,t,x)
set(handles.ax1,'XLim',[0,3600],'XTick',0:300:3600,'YLim',...[bins(1),bins(end)])

%plot 2
cla(handles.ax2)
barh(handles.ax2,bins,pdfx,'b','EdgeColor','none','BarWidth',1)
set(handles.ax2,'YLim',[bins(1),bins(end)],'YTickLabel','')

cla(handles.ax3)
plot(handles.ax3,t,y)
set(handles.ax3,'XLim',[0,3600],'XTick',0:300:3600,'YLim',[bins(1),bins(end)])

cla(handles.ax4)
barh(handles.ax4,.bins,pdfy,'b','EdgeColor','none','BarWidth',1)
set(handles.ax4,'YLim',[bins(1),bins(end)],'YTickLabel','')

handles.position=[2,2,8,5.5];
handles.imgname='Image';
handles.panel=handles.PlotPanel3;
case 2
%etc.
end
guidata(hObject,handles);

%save the plot
function SavePlot_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
pathname=handles.pathname;
position=handles.position;
panel=handles.panel;
subplots=findobj(panel,'Type','axes');

newfig=figure('Units','inches','Position',position);
for k=1:length(subplots)
copyobj(subplots(k),newfig);
end

checkdir(pathname,'figures');
set(newfig,'PaperPositionMode','manual')
set(newfig,'PaperUnits','inches')
set(newfig,'PaperPosition',position)
saveas(newfig,[pathname,'figures\',handles.imgname(1:end-4)],'fig')
%here is where *.fig does not work and *.png does
%hgsave and print also generate errors when attempted
