wrap text inside a pushbutton
in [Matlab]

From: Naresh Pai on 29 Dec 2009 18:42 Is there a way to set uicontrol properties such that the text inside a pushbutton will wrap itself? The alternative would be to use static text on the pushbutton.

No, but in the callback where you set the String property of the button you can use TEXTWRAP: http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/ref/textwrap.html -- Steve Lord slord(a)mathworks.com comp.soft-sys.matlab (CSSM) FAQ: http://matlabwiki.mathworks.com/MATLAB_FAQ

'Parent',hf,... 'Units','normalized',... 'Position',[0.7,.15,.2,.1],... 'Style','pushbutton'); % Define a string for button string = {'ABC DEF',... 'GHI JKL'}; % wrap string for uicontrol button [outstring,newpos] = textwrap(Btn_temp,string); % apply the string to the uicontrol button set(Btn_temp,'String',outstring,'Position',newpos); %The button string does not get the second line i.e. GHI JKL
From: Matt Fig on 4 Jan 2010 13:35 From the documentation: "For uicontrol objects that display only one line of text (check box, push button, radio button, toggle button), if the string value is specified as a cell array of strings or padded string matrix, only the first string of a cell array or of a padded string matrix is displayed; the rest are ignored. Vertical slash ('|') characters are not interpreted as line breaks and instead show up in the text displayed in the uicontrol." You might be able to do something with the underlying JAVA. Putting a textbox over the top of the pushbutton introduces problems as well, because clicking on the string will not trigger the pushbutton's callback. We will bring the JAVA man to this thread: Calling Yair Altman!

Indeed, I would be interested in a Java way to do this, but in the meantime my uibutton is available: <http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/10743-uibutton-gui-pushbuttons-with-better-labels> -- Doug Schwarz dmschwarz&ieee,org Make obvious changes to get real email address.
