how to create a Fig for GUI?

In fact I want to create a Fig for GUI and then start to make a GUI should I do that ? or there is any other way?

Answer 1

[Paulo Silva]

Just type and execute:

guide

and have fun with it, don't forget to read the documentation

doc guide

The other way is to do it all on one function with subfunctions and lots of code, start with guide and when you feel comfortable using it you can do all with code, no .fig file required.

Beside using GUIDE, you can create a GUI manually also. Some examples can be found in the toolboxes, e.g. read the sources of MSGBOX, LISTDLG and HELPDLG. A minimal example:

DlgH = figure;
ButtonH = uicontrol('Sytle', 'PushButton', 'Position', [10, 10, 100, 22], ...
                    'String', 'Button', 'Callback', 'disp(clock)');

[EDITED]: Please use "Style" instead of the typo "Sytle"!

You will get a more specific answer, if you explain your demands with any details.

I checked it out based on matlab 7.12.0

I got following error

??? Error using ==> uicontrol

Invalid property found.

Object Name : uicontrol

Property Name : 'Sytle'.

In fact I have a function,

I want to make a GUI, then I import data based on that

and in one small windows shows different methods that can be used.

that is all what I want to do for now

@Mohammad: Well, this is called a typo. Read the documentation of UICONTROL or inspect the list of its properties by "set uicontrol" to find out, that it should be "Style" instead of "Sytle". I expect a certain level of cooperation.

I just have created this Figure

M = figure('units','pixels','position',[500 500 200 50], 'menubar','none','numbertitle','off','name','Mohammad', 'resize','on')

do you think I can use of "Set" to change the background or something else I should add to this ?

my mean , for example how can I make a bigger figure? can I re-size it , not manually

[Grzegorz Knor]

Of course, there is a many ways to do that, for example:

whitebg(M,'r')

set(M,'Position',[600 600 250 100])

[Niki]

do you know how to put a photo of a flower background?

[Niki]

I found

m = load('clown')

m2 = image(m.X)

colormap(m.map)

[Walter Roberson]

I would recommend instead using

m = load('clown');

m2 = ind2rgb(m.X, m.map);

image(m2);

Otherwise you "use up" your one and only figure colormap on a frill. Keep in mind: you can only have one colormap per figure.
