% You can have as many Panels as you like in one Figure.
%
% (a) Create a figure with two uipanel objects.
% (b) Attach a panel to one of these.
% (c) Attach another - oh, wait!
%% (a)
% create the figure
clf
% create a couple of uipanels
set(gcf, 'units', 'normalized');
u1 = uipanel('units', 'normalized', 'position', [0.1 0.1 0.35 0.8]);
u2 = uipanel('units', 'normalized', 'position', [0.55 0.1 0.35 0.8]);
%% (b)
% create a 2x2 grid in one of the uipanels
p = panel(u1);
p.pack(2, 2);
p.select('all');
% see?
pause(3)
%% (c)
% and, what the hell, another in the other
q = panel(u2);
q.pack(2, 2);
q.select('all');
% oh, wait, the first one's disappeared. why?
pause(3)
% by default, only one panel can be attached to any one
% figure. this makes for ease of use, usually. if you want
% to attach more than one, you have to pass the 'add'
% argument to the constructor when you create additional
% panels.
p = panel(u1, 'add');
p.pack(2, 2);
p.select('all');
% see?
pause(3)
% and, of course, if we try to create a new one again, once
% again without 'add', we'll delete all existing panels, as
% before...
p = panel(u1);
p.pack(2, 2);
p.select('all');
% see?
pause(3)
% finally, let's delete the first one, just for the craic.
delete(p);
