GuiDemo for rapidly creating user interfaces from simple dialogues to full applications
Whilst the Matlab guide is very useful for rapidly creating graphical user interfaces (GUIs) with an arbitrary layout, we find that it is even quicker to base a GUI on GuiDemo.
Why? Because we find it easier to delete things we don't want, and modify those that we do want, rather than starting with a blank screen.
Creating a GUI based on GuiDemo
Description of how the ConnectedSets Gui was created.
- Copy the contents of \DArT_Toolshed\ToolBag\Demo of JRK GUI to your working directory.
- Rename, e.g. GuiDemo.m to ConnectedSets.m and GuiDemoLayout.txt to ConnectedSetsLayout.txt
- Within ConnectedSets.m replace all strings GuiDemo by ConnectedSets. We now have a working template.
