Laying Out GUIs – The Layout Editor
The Layout Editor enables you to select GUI components from a palette and
arrange them in a figure window. The component palette contains the GUI
components (uicontrol objects) that are available for you to use in your user
interface. The layout area becomes the figure window upon activation.
Placing an Object In the Layout Area
Select the type of component you want to place in your GUI by clicking on it in
the component palette. The cursor changes to a cross, which you can then use
to select the position of the upper-left corner of the control, or you can set the
size of the control by clicking in the layout area and then dragging the cursor
to the lower-right corner before releasing the mouse button.
