Ways to Build MATLAB
®
GUIs
Type of GUI Technique
Dialog box
MATLAB software provides a
selection of standard dialog boxes
that you can create with a single
function call. For an example, see
the documentation for
msgbox,which
also provides links to functions that
create specialized predefined dialog
boxes.
GUI conta ining just a few
components
It is often simpler to create GUIs
that contain only a few components
programmatically. You can fully
define each component with a single
function call.
Moderately complex GUIs GUIDE simplifies the creation of
moderately complex GUIs.
Complex GUIs with many
components, and GUIs that
require interaction with other GUIs
Creating complex GUIs
programmatically lets you control
exact placement of the components
and provides reproducibility.
You can combine the two approaches to some degree. You can create a GUI
with GUIDE and then modify it programmatically. However, you cannot
create a GUI programmatically and later modify it w ith GUIDE.
