| Creating Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs), MATLAB Version 7.2 (R2006a) Release Notes | ![]() |
New features and changes introduced in this version are:
The use of '&' (ampersand) in the uimenu 'Label' property string is changed for cases that use the constructs 'A& B' and 'A&&B'. The changes bring these constructs in line with the way '&' is used in other 'Label' constructs. See "Compatibility Considerations" below for specific information.
Interpretation of 'Label' property strings that use the following constructs is changed:
The string 'A& B' now produces the menu label A& B with no underlined mnemonic. Previously, 'A& B' produced the label A_B, in which the space is a mnemonic.
The string 'A&&B' now produces the menu label A & B with no underlined mnemonic. Previously, 'A&&B' produced the label A&B with no mnemonic.
If you use either construct, 'A& B' or 'A&&B', in your menu labels, verify that the new resulting label is acceptable or change the 'Label' property to a new string.
The MATLAB document Creating Graphical User Interfaces is reorganized and rewritten. It now consists of three sections:
Getting Started—Leads you through the steps needed to create a simple GUI, both programmatically and using GUIDE.
Creating GUIs with GUIDE—Contains the information, previously included in Creating Graphical User Interfaces, that you need to create a GUI using GUIDE. This section is organized in workflow order with many small examples of the various steps. A final chapter provides advanced examples.
Creating GUIs Programmatically—For now, this section contains a summary of the available functions and complete code examples for three GUIs.
One GUI uses a variety of user interface controls to enable a user to calculate the mass of an object after specifying the object's density and volume.
Two other GUIs work together as an icon editor. One GUI, a color palette, is embedded in the other GUI, an icon editor. The color palette passes data to the icon editor whenever the GUI user selects a new color.
Note Following the release of MATLAB version 7.2, Creating Graphical User Interfaces will be further updated and expanded. The PDF and HTML versions of this document will be updated on The MathWorks Web site some time after the release. Check the top page of the HTML document and the title page of the PDF to determine if they have been updated. |
