Programming a GUIDE GUI
When you save your G UI layout, GUIDE automatically generates a file of
MATLAB code for controlling the way the GUI works. This file contains code
to initialize the GUI and organizes the GUI callbacks. Callbacks are functions
that execute in response to us er-generated events, such as a mouse click.
Using the MATLAB editor, you can add code to the callbacks to perform the
functions you want. You can also add new functions for callbacks to use.
