Matlab GUIDE GUI Handles change in values after using Load() function? - handle

Inside a GUI that I have made using GUIDE in Matlab. I run into a problem where upon using the Load() function to load a .MAT file all my handles change values. This means that if I had a button that I wanted to use on my GUI. My program will believe its handle is for example
handles.button1 =190.082
when in reality the only way I can access that button any more is through a different handle that is unknown. So if its unknown lets see what its new handle must be.
findobj('Tag','button1') = 227.0093
As you can see these numbers are completely different. Why the handles values get changed is beyond me. Since the handles change I can no longer use the set() function as I have written in previous sections of code. For example I have to change
set(handles.button1, 'Enable', 'off');
to
set(findobj('Tag','button1'),'Enable','off');
Does anyone have an explanation as to why this problem occurs when using Load()?
Is there a feasible solution instead of having to find the handle for an object every time you want to use it?

The .MAT file conveniently also had a handles variable in it which overwrote my current handles.

How to force reimport of texture in godot?

I have a sample.png file which is being changed outside godot
and after it's modified, godot recives a signal and when that signal is received
I want that specific sample.png file to be reimported
I tried this answer but I want to reimport in my script itself not create a plugin for it
(atleast that's what I'm assuming it does)
I also tried this from the documents but I'm not sure how to use it exactly
EditorFileSystem.update_file("res://Assets/sample.png")
so how do I achieve the desired result?
The class EditorFileSystem is intended for plugins.
You would call get_editor_interface() from an EditorPlugin (which would be where you would be writing code if you were making a plugin). And that gives you an EditorInterface object, on which you can call get_resource_filesystem() which gives you an EditorFileSystem object.
So the intended use is something like this:
extends EditorPlugin
func example() -> void:
var editor_file_system := get_editor_interface().get_resource_filesystem()
editor_file_system.scan_sources()
# editor_file_system.update_file("res://icon.png")
By the way, EditorInterface also has a filesystem_changed signal. Although I don't know how reliable it is.
Usually you don't have to do that. When you restore the Godot window, it will scan for changes in the project folder. So you might minimize Godot while you are working on something else and when you bring the Godot window back it will pick on the changes.
In practice, the only situations when I had to use scan or scan_sources was when I had a tool script that write a resource file which should be imported, and I wanted it to reflect right away.
Instead of making a custom plugin, I'll remind you that form a tool script (as long as it is running in the editor) you can simply create an EditorPlugin object. For example:
var ep = EditorPlugin.new()
ep.get_editor_interface().get_resource_filesystem().scan()
ep.free()
I had also shared this example in another answer I wrote for you a while back here, it is under the title "About saving resources from tool scripts".

How to print function call timeline?

I would like to print location and function name of each function during a run.
It would help during debug to identify which function is called when multiple functions have the same name in different places.
It is possible but time costly to add by hand message such as:
println!("(function_name) file = {}, line = {}",file!(),line!());
Do you know such a solution? Have you suggestions to identify easily which function is called and who calls it?
The easiest option would probably be to use something like dtrace or ebpf: hook onto the "function entry" probe (not sure what it's called in linux / ebpf land but I'd think it exists) and just print the relevant information. You may want to add stack-based indentation though, and of course because of compiler optimisations you might have functions going missing. And you might get the mangled names which is not great, but de-mangling is a thing.
You might be able to do something similar by running your program in gdb and creating some sort of programmatic breakpoints which print and immediately continue?
Alternatively, a module-level attribute procedural macro could work: if you get a token stream for the entire module, it might be possible to automatically inject logging data into every function header.

How to get SMAC3 working for Python 3x on Windows

This is a great package for Bayesian optimization of hyperparameters (especially mixed integer/continuous/categorical...and has shown to be better than Spearmint in benchmarks). However, clearly it is meant for Linux. What do I do...?
First you need to download swig.exe (the whole package) and unzip it. Then drop it somewhere and add the folder to path so that the installer for SMAC3 can call swig.exe.
Next, the Resource module is going to cause issues because that is only meant for Linux. That is specifically used by Pynisher. You'll need to comment out import pynisher in the execute_func.py module. Then, set use_pynisher:bool=False in the def __init__(self...) in the same module. The default is true.
Then, go down to the middle of the module where an if self.use_pynisher....else statement exists. Obviously our code now enters the else part, but it is not setup correctly. Change result = self.ta(config, **obj_kwargs) to result = self.ta(list(config.get_dictionary().values())). This part may need to be adjusted yet depending on what kind of inputs your function handles, but essentially you can see that this will enable the basic example shown in the included branin_fmin.py module. If doing the random forest example, don't change at all...etc.

Can I alter Python source code while executing?

What I mean by this is:
I have a program. The end user is currently using it. I submit a new piece of source code and expect it to run as if it were always there?
I can't find an answer that specifically answers the point.
I'd like to be able to say, "extend" or add new features (rather than fix something that's already there on the fly) to the program without requiring a termination of the program (eg. Restart or exit).
Yes, you can definitely do that in python.
Although, it opens a security hole, so be very careful.
You can easily do this by setting up a "loader" class that can collect the source code you want it to use and then call the exec builtin function, just pass some python source code in and it will be evaluated.
Check the package
http://opensourcehacker.com/2011/11/08/sauna-reload-the-most-awesomely-named-python-package-ever/ . It allows to overcome certain raw edges of plain exec. Also it may be worth to check Dynamically reload a class definition in Python

Application to accept arguments while running

I am using visual studio 2008 and MFC. I accept arguments using a subclass of CCommandLineInfo and overriding ParseParam().
Now I want to pass these arguments to the application while running. For example "test.exe /start" and then to type in the console "test.exe /initialize" to be initialized again.
is there any way to do that?
Edit 1: Some clarifications. My program starts with "test.exe /start". I want to type "test.exe /initialize" and initialize the one and only running process (without closing/opening). And by initialize I mean to read a different XML file, to change some values of the interface and other things.
I cannot think of an easy way to accomplish what you're asking about.
However, you could develop your application to specifically receive commands, and given those commands take any actions you wanted based upon receiving them. Since you're already using MFC, you can do this rather easily. Create a Window (HWND) for your application and register it. It doesn't have to be visible (this won't necessarily make you application a GUI application). Implement a WndProc, and define specific messages that you will receive based on WM_USER + <xxx>.
First and obvious question is why you want to have threads, instead of processes.
You may use GetCommandLine and CommandLineToArgvW to get the fully formatted command line. Detect the arguments, and the call CreateProcess or ShellExecute passing /watever to spawn the process. You may also want to use GetModuleBaseName to get the name of your own EXE.
