The main purpose of this tool is to allow adding customized GUI templates to the ones included in MATLAB's GUIDE tool. Two main functions are included:
- install_guide_template.m allows adding custom GUI templates to MATLAB's GUIDE startup window. It copies the .m and .fig files to a folder in MATLAB's install directory, specifically [matlab_root]/toolbox/matlab/guide/guitemplates/ and modifies the templateinfo.xml file to register the new template.
Note: in some cases, MATLAB should be ran with Administrative Privileges to be able to write to the guitemplates folder.

- remove_guide_template.m This function displays a dialog listing the currently installed GUIDE templates, allowing the user to remove one of them.

A GUI template is included under the template_examples folder. More templates may be added to te repository in the future.

Note: tested only in Windows. The location of the guitemplates folder may change in other OS.

See functions help for more details.
