MATLAB Creating Graphical User Interfaces

6 Lay Out a UI Using GUIDE

The check box accommodates only a single line of text. If you specify a component

width that is too small to accommodate the specified String, MATLAB software

truncates the string with an ellipsis.

• Create the check box with the box checked by setting the Value property to the value
  of the Max property (default is 1 ). Set Value to Min (default is 0 ) to leave the box
  unchecked. Correspondingly, when the user clicks the check box, the software sets
  Value to Max when the user checks the box and to Min when the user clears it.


• If you want to set the position or size of the component to an exact value, then modify
  its Position property. See “Locate and Move Components” on page 6-74 and
  “Resize GUIDE UI Components” on page 6-67 for details.
