How do I create a .m file that will automatically read information into a already created Matlab GUI?

In my script (sample.m). I want to call another GUI .m script (GUI.m) and input arguements through my scripts into GUI.m. However the GUI just keeps popping up and will not let me automate the process. How can I do this?

For example the first GUI option is to Load an Image. So you click Load and the specify the file. How can I automate this in my sample.m script.

It's just a matter of learning how to stuff your data into controls on your GUI. Perhaps this will help: http://blogs.mathworks.com/videos/category/gui-or-guide/

Basically in your OpeningFcn() function, you need to exctract your passed variables from the "varargin" variable. Then assign them to properties of controls on your GUI, like the "Value" or "String" property. For example:

str = varargin{1};
handles.text1.String = str;
dbl = varargin{2};
handles.slider1.Value = dbl;
