matlab最大最小方法,[转载]Matlab有关的未被公开的窗口最大最小化方法

Over the past couple of years, I

postedseveral

articlesusing

theJavaFrameproperty

of the figure handle, which enables access to the GUI’s underlying

Java peer object. Today, I show how

usingJavaFramewe

can solve a very frequent user request on the Matlab CSSM

forum.

The problem

Matlab figures can be maximized, minimized and restored

by interactively clicking

the corresponding icon (or menu item) on the figure window’s frame

(the title bar). However, we often need to create maximized

main-application windows, and wish to save the users the need to

manually maximize the window. Moreover, we may sometimes even wish

to prevent users from resizing a maximized main window.

Unfortunately, Matlab does not contain any documented or supported

way to programmatically maximize,

minimize or restore a figure window.

This is very strange considering the fact that these are such

elementary figure operations. Moreover, these operations are

supported internally (and have been for many releases already), as

shown below. It is therefore difficult for me to understand why

they were not added to the documented Matlab HG wrapper

functionality a long time ago. I fail to understand why obscure

features such as docking were added to the wrapper, but standard

minimization and maximization were not.

Maximization

Several solutions have been presented to this

problem over the years. Let us start with the pressing question of

figure maximization:

Solutions that rely on documented Matlab features tend to compute

the available screen size and resize the figure accordingly. The

result is lacking in many respects: it does not account for the

taskbar (neither in size nor in location, which is not necessarily

at the bottom of the screen); it does not remove the window border

as in regular maximized figures; and it often ignores extended

desktops (i.e. an attached additional monitor).

The solutions that do work properly all rely on undocumented

features: Some use platform-specific native Windows API in a

mex-file (Jan Simon’s recent WindowAPI submission

really pushes the limit in this and other regards). Alternately, we

can easily use the platform-independent JavaFrame:

>> jFrame = get(handle(gcf),'JavaFrame')

jFrame =

com.mathworks.hg.peer.FigurePeer@cdbd96

>> jFrame.setMaximized(true); % to maximize the figure

>> jFrame.setMaximized(false); % to un-maximize the figure

Minimization

To the best of my knowledge, there are no solutions for minimizing

figure windows that use documented Matlab features. Again, this can

be done using either native Windows API, or the

platform-independent JavaFrame:

>> jFrame.setMinimized(true); % to minimize the figure

>> jFrame.setMinimized(false); % to un-minimize the figure

Usage notes

Maximized and Minimized are

mutually-exclusive, meaning that no more than one of them can be 1

(or true) at any time. This is automatically handled – users only

need to be aware that a situation in which a window is both

maximized and minimized at the same time is impossible (duh!).

There are several equivalent manners of

setting jFrame‘s Maximized and Minimized property

values, and your choice may simply be a matter of aesthetics and

personal taste:

% Three alternative possibilities of setting Maximized:

jFrame.setMaximized(true);

set(jFrame,'Maximized',true); % note interchangeable 1< =>true, 0< =>false

jFrame.handle.Maximized = 1;

jFrame follows Java convention: the

accessor method that retrieves boolean values is

called is() instead

of get.

In our case: isMaximized() and isMinimized():

flag = jFrame.isMinimized; % Note: isMinimized, not getMinimized

flag = get(jFrame,'Minimized');

flag = jFrame.handle.Minimized;

In some old Matlab releases, jFrame did

not possess the Maximized and Minimized properties,

and their associated accessor methods. In this case, use the

internal FrameProxy which

has always contained them:

>> jFrameProxy = jFrame.fFigureClient.getWindow()

jFrameProxy =

com.mathworks.hg.peer.FigureFrameProxy$FigureFrame[fClientProxyFrame,227,25,568x502,invalid,layout=java.awt.BorderLayout,title=Figure 1,resizable,normal,defaultCloseOperation=DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE,...]

>> % Three alternative possibilities of setting Minimized:

>> jFrameProxy.setMinimized(true);

>> set(jFrameProxy,'Minimized',true);

>> jFrameProxy.handle.Minimized = true;

Using FrameProxy for

figure minimization and maximization works correctly on both old

and new Matlab releases; using jFrame is

slightly simpler but only works on recent Matlab releases.

Depending on your needs you may choose to use either of these. They

are entirely equivalent.

When either the Maximized or Minimized properties

are changed back to false, the window is restored to regular mode,

which is theFrameProxy‘s RestoredLocation and RestoredSize.

Use of the JavaFrame property

Note that all this relies on the undocumented hidden figure

property JavaFrame,

which issues a standing warning (since Matlab release R2008a) of

becoming obsolete in some future Matlab release (HG2?):

>> jFrame =get(gcf,'JavaFrame')

Warning: figure JavaFrame property will be obsoleted in a future release.

For more information see the JavaFrame resource on the MathWorks web site.

(Type "warning off MATLAB:HandleGraphics:ObsoletedProperty:JavaFrame" to suppress this warning.)

jFrame =

com.mathworks.hg.peer.FigurePeer@1ffbad6

To remove the above warning I have used (note

the handle wrapper,

as suggested by

Donn Shull):

jFrame = get(handle(gcf),'JavaFrame')

If and when JavaFrame does

become obsolete in some future Matlab version, be sure to look in

this blog for workarounds.

You may also wish to inform MathWorks on the dedicated webpage that

they have set up for specifically this reason (http://www.mathworks.com/javaframe),

how you are using JavaFrame and

why it is important for you. This may help them to decide whether

to keep JavaFrame or

possibly add the functionality using other means.

Do you have a smart use for the figure’s minimization or

maximization feature? or another use for JavaFrame?

If so, please share your ideas in a
