Objects that you can include in a GUI include:

• User interface controls, such as push buttons and sliders

• Containers, such as panels and button groups

• Axes, to contain plots and images

• ActiveX controls (on Microsoft Window s platforms)

The following topics tell you how to populate your GUI with these components.

Note 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

specia lized predefine d di alog boxes.

The following table describes the available components and the function used

to create each. Subsequent topics provide specific information about adding
