Save a UI

To save a UI in GUIDE, use any of the following methods:

• On the Layout Editor toolbar, click Save or Run.


• On the Layout Editor menu bar, select the FileSave or Save as options

Note:GUIDE UIs cannot run correctly from a private folder.

Create a Backward Compatible GUIDE Fig-File

FIG-files that are created or modified with MATLAB 7.0 or a later MATLAB version, are

not automatically compatible with Version 6.5 and earlier versions.

Perform these steps to make a FIG-file backward compatible:

1 From the Layout editor, select File > Preferences.

2 Select MATLAB > General > MAT-Files.

3 Select MATLAB Version 5 or later (save -v6)

Note:

• Because button groups, panels, and tables were introduced in MATLAB 7, you should
  not use them in UIs that you expect to run in earlier MATLAB versions.


• The -v6 option will be removed in a future version of MATLAB
