blurFigure - blurs and prevents interaction on a figure window 1.0blurFigure -

blurFigure(hFig) blurs figure hFig and prevents interaction with it. The only interaction possible is with user-created controls on the blurring panel (see below). hFigBlur = blurFigure(hFig) returns the overlaid blurred figure pane. This is useful to present a progress bar or other GUI controls, for user interaction during the blur phase. blurFigure(hFig,STATE) sets the blur status of figure hFig to STATE, where state is 'on','off',true or false (default='on'/true). blurFigure(hFig,'on') or blurFigure(hFig,true) is the same as: blurFigure(hFig). blurFigure(hFig,'off') or blurFigure(hFig,false) is the same as: close(hFigBlur). blurFigure('demo') displays a simple demo of the blurring (see attached screenshot). Input parameters: (all parameters are optional) hFig - (default=gcf) Handle(s) of the modified figure(s). If component handle(s) is/are specified, then the containing figure(s) will be inferred and used. state - (default='on'/true) blurring flag: 'on','off',true or false Examples: hFigBlur = blurFigure(hFig); % blur hFig (alternative #1) hFigBlur = blurFigure(hFig,true); % blur hFig (alternative #2) hFigBlur = blurFigure(hFig,false); % un-blur hFig (alternative #1) hFigBlur = blurFigure(hFig,'off'); % un-blur hFig (alternative #2) close(hFigBlur); % un-blur hFig (alternative #3) delete(hFigBlur); % un-blur hFig (alternative #4) blurFigure('demo'); % blur demo with progress bar etc. Bugs and suggestions: Please send to Yair Altman (altmany at gmail dot com) Warning: This code heavily relies on undocumented and unsupported Matlab functionality. It works on Matlab 7.9 (R2009b) and higher, but use at your own risk!
