MLGU: MATLAB for Building Graphical User Interfaces

This one-day course presents techniques for building graphical user interfaces (GUIs) in MATLAB. Attendees will learn about user interface controls, such as push buttons and text boxes, and how to use them to create a robust GUI. Topics include:

Handle Graphics^® objects
User interface controls
Callback functions
Graphical user interface development environment (GUIDE)
GUI deployment

Note: A 1 hour test session will be scheduled one day prior to the first day of class. This session is to verify that the visual and audio connection is working properly on your computer. The required product software should be installed for the test session. It is highly recommended that you attend this session to ensure a successful and timely class start.
