Java GUI and Matlab Functionality

Hey all,

Just a quick question is it possible to use Matlab to do the functionality and use Java for GUI (Graphical User Interface) and add the Matlab functionality componenets to that GUI? Or is it not allowed and one should use Matlab GUI to make it work?

Thanks.

That arrangement can be used to do computation, but it could be tricky if you are wanting to use any MATLAB graphical object. I could also foresee problems if you wanted the Java GUI layer to interact with MATLAB's callback facilities.

This is indeed possible. There are numerous examples of doing so in the UndocumentedMatlab.com website (including callbacks). Java GUI is far more powerful and can look far more professional than a pure-Matlab GUI.
