10 Lay Out a Programmatic UI

The first uicontrol argument, f, specifies the parent container. In this case, the parent

is a figure, but you can also specify the parent to be any container, such as a panel or

'String','Button 1' add the label, Button 1 to the push button.

'Position',[50 20 60 40] specifies the location and size of the push button. In this

Radio Button

This code creates a radio button:

f = figure;

r = uicontrol(fh,'Style','radiobutton',...
