uibutton: GUI pushbuttons with better labels

Very nice. I like how you create an image and use that as an ICON for the buttons. This guarantees that it behaves exactly like uicontrols.

One comment: when the style is TEXT, it creates a text object. In the code, you comment that it doesn't return the handle because it is not a UICONTROL. You should probably say something about that in the help text. Also, if someone (by mistake) asks for the handles, as in h=uibutton('style', 'text', ...), it gives an error because hout is not assigned. Maybe there's a better response to this, such as returning an empty variable or displaying a message.

Just what I needed. I am using it in Matlab Ver. 6.5.0 (R13.0.1). I had trouble with the isscalar(h) command, but I replaced it with ~any(size(h)-1) and it works great.
For multiline text buttons, try
uibutton(h,'String',' Print\newlineReport','HorizontalAlignment','center')
where h is the handle of an existing uicontrol button.

If anyone knows of a good LaTeX reference online, I would appreciate the post.

very good

When I try to run this I get an error. I am able to generate the pushbutton with greek symbol, to size it and place it in the position I want with code:

alpha_button = uibutton('String','\alpha','Interpreter','tex','Position', [219 570 50 25]);

When I execute my GUI, however, the callback from my main pushbutton is not accessed. Also, if I move the symbol pushbutton into any position with 'position' I get the following error:

Error in ==> getframe at 35
  x=capturescreen(varargin{:});

Error in ==> uibutton at 146
