MATLAB Creating Graphical User Interfaces

Create a Simple App Programmatically

NoteThis topic applies to apps you create programmatically using the figure function.

For alternative ways to build apps, see “Ways to Build Apps” on page 1-2.

This example shows how to create a simple app programmatically, such as the one shown

here.

Subsequent sections guide you through the process of creating this app.

If you prefer to view and run the code that created this app without creating it, set your

current folder to one to which you have write access. Copy the example code and open it

in the Editor by issuing the following MATLAB commands:

copyfile(fullfile(docroot, 'techdoc','creating_guis',...

'examples','simple_gui2*.*')), fileattrib('simple_gui2*.*', '+w');

edit simple_gui2.m
