MATLAB Creating Graphical User Interfaces

Add Components to a Programmatic App

User interface controls are common UI components, such as buttons, check boxes, and

sliders. Tables present data in rows and columns. Panels and button groups are

containers in which you can group together related elements in your UI. ActiveX

components enable you to display ActiveX controls.

User Interface Controls

Push Button

This code creates a push button:

f = figure;

pb = uicontrol(f,'Style','pushbutton','String','Button 1',...

'Position',[50 20 60 40]);

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

button group.

The name-value pair arguments, 'Style','pushbutton', the uicontrol to be a push

button.
