How can I create a collapsible uiPanel in Matlab?

Is there any way of creating collapsible uiPanels in Matlab? As in, panels that open and close by pushing a button? See the example below.

Thank you!

contains a BoxPanel class that allows you to program in this functionality. There is documentation in a folder of that submission which includes this. As always I would recommend trying it in a simple standalone demo before trying to insert it straight into your main code, to ensure you understand how it works.

You could create a uipanel with a toggle button inside it. The callback for the toggle button could resize the uipanel. With clipping set on the uipanel that could be used to hide the content. You could use a CData property on the toggle button to make it look like a triangle.

Thank you for your answer! but how can I get the toggle button inside the title? As far as i can see, the title only accepts a string.

Don't put it inside the title then. Is the functionality the important part or is the graphic design the important part?
