13 Feb 2009 (Updated 09 Oct 2009)

A MATLAB class which controls layout and resize of a figure/uipanel/uicontainer.

Editor's Notes:

This file was selected as MATLAB Central Pick of the Week

File Information
Description	layout.GridBagLayout is a MATLAB class which controls layout and resize of a figure/uipanel/uicontainer. This class helps the MATLAB GUI developer design complex Graphical User Interfaces without the need for calculations or complex code for performing initial layouts or writing resize functions. To get this to work in 2007b/2008a you can simply replace the calls to ishghandle(h, 'figure') with strcmp(get(h, 'type'), 'figure').

09 Mar 2009	Yair Altman	Magnificent piece of work!
16 Apr 2009	Laurent Vaylet	WOW!! We finally get these nice Java layout features in MATLAB. Congratulations, it is a really useful, documented and illustrated piece of code. If a 6-star rating existed, you would surely get it :-)
28 Apr 2009	Ryan Ollos	This code makes up for a major shortcoming of MATLAB, and has helped me write GUIs more quickly and more cleanly. Thank you for sharing this great piece of work!

Updates
13 Feb 2009	Removed log files that were not relevant or useful.
24 Mar 2009	Update layout method to better handle Axes using the 'OuterPosition' property so that Insets are not always necessary. This will use MATLAB's built-in axes spacing management. Recapture HTML.
28 Apr 2009	Fix typos and Axes positioning.
29 Apr 2009	Make Axes positioning dependent on the ActivePositionProperty. Thanks for the catch Ryan.
09 Oct 2009	Fix a bug with the use of UIPanel. Take into account the BorderWidth property when calculating the number of pixels available for the layout.
