Graphical user interfaces

This chapter describes how apps with graphical user interfaces (or GUIs) can be created using MATLAB. A simple case study of displaying and interacting with some biomedical data is used to illustrate the basics of app creation using the MATLAB App Designer tool. Concepts such as adding components to the GUI, controlling their behavior in response to different events and callback functions are described. The idea of maintaining state between different callback function calls is also covered using properties and helper functions.
