Introduction
Graphical User Interface (GUI) MatLab provides Graphical User Interface Development Environment(GUIDE) A MatLab tool used to create GUIs Decide between using GUIDE or writing the code from scratch GUIs give the user a simplified experience running a program Associates a function(s) with components of the GUI
2
GUI should be consistent and easily understood. Provide the user with the ability to use a program without having to worry about commands to run the actual program Possible components of a GUI
Pushbuttons Sliders List boxes Menus.etc

Sample GUI
3 Essential Characteristics
Components
Graphical Components
pushbuttons, edit boxes, sliders, labels, menus, etc Frames, text strings,
Static Components
Figures components are contained in figures Callbacks The functions which perform the required action when a component is pushed

GUIDE Properties
Allows the user to drag and drop components that he/she wants in the layout area of the GUI All guide GUIs start with an opening function
Callback is performed before user has access to GUI
Saving automatically generates an .m file and .fig file .fig contains the binary GUI layout and .m contains the code that controls the GUI
Constantly answering these two questions will help you keep in perspective the goal of your GUI.

Callback Editor
The meat of the GUI process Opening function is first callback in every guide generated GUI Usually used to generate data used in GUI Callbacks define what will happen when a figure component is selected Must write CODE!!!!
GUI EXAMPLE
Utilize functions
Surf, Mesh, Contour
Types of plots performed on data in example peaks is a function of two variables, obtained by translating and scaling Gaussian distributions
Peaks
Membrane Sinc
sinc computes the sinc function of an input vector or array, where the sinc function is
