How to make GUI take workspace value and run a parameter file?

I want to send some parameters in a m file to workspace and use them in a GUI
Normally, I can run "parameters.m" in the command window, then the value will be workspace. However, I don't want to do it, because I need to pass this GUI to a friend who does not know much about Matlab.

My question are 1) how to run the parameter file automatically at the initnation of the GUI. 2) how to make all function in the GUI use and update those parameters? (Does global the only option??)

I'm not exactly sure what "pass this GUI to a friend" means but I
guess he/she needs to run it on a different computer and read in the
parameters that you had set during the last run on your computer. If
so, I'd recommend saving them in a mat file that they can just read in
with the load command.

Thanks. I just read the article. The information about 'handle' is very useful. However, I need to make a gui which would take and update initial parameters. How should I do that?

A gui can take and return arguments just like any regular function.
Do it that way if you want. Or you can pass stuff back and forth via
a .mat file. Take your pick.

The question here might be if the GUI needs the Workspace as a medium to take/return arguments. I have the same question as well. I am making a GUI that I want to run without Matlab actually running in the background. The only way I know how to assign arguments is through the Workspace, but maybe I'm not doing this right.
