Create GUIs with GUIDE

What Is GUIDE?	Introduces GUIDE
GUIDE Preferences and Options	Describes briefly the available MATLAB preferences and GUI options.
Lay Out a GUIDE GUI	Shows you how to start GUIDE and from there how to populate the GUI and create menus. Provides guidance in designing a GUI for cross-platform compatibility.
Save and Run a GUIDE GUI	Describes the files used to store the GUI. Steps you through the process for saving a GUI, and lists the different ways in which you can activate a GUI.
Programming a GUIDE GUI	Explains how user-written callback routines control GUI behavior. Shows you how to associate callbacks with specific components and explains callback syntax and arguments. Provides simple programming examples for each kind of component.
Managing and Sharing Application Data in GUIDE	Explains the mechanisms for managing application-defined data and explains how to share data among a GUIs callbacks.
Examples of GUIDE GUIs	Illustrates techniques for programming various behaviors.
