About the Simple Programmatic GUI Example
The next topic, “Functions for the Simple Programmatic GUI” on page 3-3,
summarizes the functions used to create this e xample GUI.
Subsequent topics guide you through the process of creating the GUI. This
process b egins with “Create the Simple Programmatic GUI Code File” on page
3-5. We recommend that you c reate the GUI for yourself.

Functions for the Simple Programmatic GUI
Almost all MATLAB functions work in GUIs. Many functions add components
to GUIs or modify their behavior, others assist in laying out GUIs, and still
others manage data within GUIs. This topic describes required and optional
functions used to construct the example GUI and functions that it calls when
it runs. Click any function name to read its documentation.
