Issue:

I get an error in PlotGUI "Invalid object handle" (error in plotds with MIA_Toolbox installed)

Possible Solutions:

If the message you are receiving has the error fingerprint (run the Matlab command: evrireporterror to get the error fingerprint):

message = 'Error using ==> setappdataInvalid object handle';
identifier = 'MATLAB:hg:dt_conv:Matrix_to_HObject:BadHandle';
stack(1,1).file = 'C:\(path to PLS_Toolbox)\plotgui.m';
stack(1,1).name = 'plotds';
stack(1,1).line = 5380;

Then your problem is that you have an older version of MIA_Toolbox (1.0.x) and a newer version of PLS_Toolbox (5.5 or later). The older version of MIA_Toolbox is not completely compatible with later versions of PLS_Toolbox.

To solve the problem, you must do one of these three things:

  1. upgrade your MIA_Toolbox to 2.0
  2. remove MIA_Toolbox from your path
  3. replace the "histcontrast.m" function in MIA_Toolbox with the file located here:
    http://software.eigenvector.com/faq/histcontrast.m
    Right-click this link and save it to your computer. Then, copy the file onto your Matlab path into any folder above the MIA_Toolbox folder OR directly into your MIA_Toolbox folder, overwriting the existing histcontrast.m function. This file will disable the histogram contrast functionality of PlotGUI but solve the incompatibility problem.
