41 Complete GUI Examples

I like the contents.m idea, and I might as well since a typo has already been found.

In the pdf I refer to a comment in GUI_30. I should have put GUI_32. File will be updated.

Thanks someone,
BUG! I should be using listboxtop, not value. Thanks, I will update that too.
Also, the suggestions for added exercises are coming into my email. Keep them coming! Any other GUI suggestions are welcome, simple or complex.

awesome work really very helpful

thank you for understanding, and this is a great set and deserve a 5star for its completeness.

Absolutely Superb !!

Thanks for such a didactic, well commented set of example. The exercises are a great idea too.

One thing you never touched though, is the resizing of the GUIs. Was that intentional ?

Hi matt, great collection of gui examples, really useful!

I have 2007b and I tried running example 25 but no menu title appears, is this a compatibility problem?

One more question too being an absolute beginner here, how come no .fig file is generated when running the .m file code? i.e. in guide this is automatically generated?

Cheers

Hi Matt,
Woops, I thought the uimenu function was for the menu bar only.
Is it fair to assume then that if a gui is programmed without guide and you wish to add a menu bar, the property menubar is the only way to do it? Sorry for the general question but I have just been lucky enough to take on this rather large code which I think was not written in guide to start with (but it still has a .fig file).

Do you happen to have an example with a customised menubar gui that is programmed without using guide?

Like yourself I am very much inclined to program GUI's rather than using GUIDE.

Many thanks

These are really helpful. Thank you very much!

Excellent. Great Job.

Awesome.... You made my day!!! I was struggling with gui... thanks a lot...

Okay wow. I know I already posted feedback, but this set of examples is so amazing as a tutorial that I had to come back and say that every beginner should study this entire package. This has to be the best file I've found all year, hands down. Thank you for providing this!!

thanks,this really helps me a lot!I'll keep learning it!

Excellent example files.

Used them to learn how to structure my Matlab code and build a GUI.

Thanks a million.

very useful. A lot of things that are vaguely refered to in the documentations got much clearer to me after going through your examples. Thanks!

I ran alll the GUIS under Windows with MATLAB R2009b
Wow , this submission is a great idea.
M-files are well documented , your GUIs are both easy to understand and to use.
Suggested exercise is also a good idea.

My favorites: GUI_12 , I love fun !
GUI_27 which is a nice feature to display current location of the mouse
GUI_35 with the fake tabs
GUI_39 how to make "Paint" inside MATLAB!

Just one remark about GUI_22
if you enter in the edit box 'one129' then 'on' the popup disappears.

Good work!

GUI_2
When working on your suggested exercise, it took me quite a while to realize should put "pause(0.01)" in the KeyPressFcn_callback, which gives time for updating, to avoid possible inconsistency between the string actually in the edit box and addstr. Maybe mention this in the tutorial.
Good job!

Two corrections from the previous post: I realized that all the buttons in Gui 40 did have an effect - I wasn't looking closely enough or clicking repeatedly. However, Restore doesn't always restore all the button colors.

Also, I changed my mind and gave it a 5 rating.

Hej,

I have made Gui for excel data ploting in Matlab. I did it using the video of Mr Doug (http://blogs.mathworks.com/pick/2007/08/13/video-series-reading-excel-data-into-matlab-with-a-gui/). The gui works fine but the command wndow gives following error.

mainGui>pushbuttonLoadXLS_Callback at 130
setPopupString(handles.popupmenuX,eventdata, handles)
Error in ==> gui_mainfcn at 96
feval(varargin{:});
Error in ==> mainGui at 42
gui_mainfcn(gui_State, varargin{:});
??? Error while evaluating uicontrol Callback>

The gui i m using is:

<handles.fileName=uigetfile('*.xls')
guidata(hObject,handles)
setPopupString(handles.popupmenuX,eventdata, handles)
setPopupString(handles.popupmenuY,eventdata, handles)
set(handles.popmenuX,'callback','mainGui(''updatedAxes'',gcbo,[],guidata(gcbo))')
set(handles.popmenuY,'callback','mainGui(''updatedAxes'',gcbo,[],guidata(gcbo))')
function setPopupmenuString(hObject, eventdata, handles)

fileName=handles.fileName;
[numbers, colNames]=xlsread(fileName);
set(hObject,'string',colNames);

function [x y] = readExcelColumns(fileName, xColNum, yColNum)

a = xlsread(fileName);

x=a(:, xColNum); % x-axis values containing all the rows and column #
y=a(:, yColNum); % y-axis values containing all the rows and coumn #

function updateAxes(hObject, eventdata, handles)

xColNum = get(handles.popmenuX, 'value');
yColNum = get(handles.popmenuY, 'value');
fileName= handles.fileName;

[x y] = readExcelColumns(fileName, xColNum, yColNum)

plot(handles.axes1,x,y)>

Lorenzo and Jie,
There are many ways to do the same thing in MATLAB! The approach I would have taken in solving the S.E. for GUI_2 involves adding only one line of code, and no call to PAUSE. Feel free to email me if you have more questions.

Excellent work, really very helpful to us..

Thank you Matt Fig.

Thank you for sharing, it is really useful

GUI_37 in the above file works perfectly in MATLAB 2007a. It opens a GUI where a password needs to be entered. The characters are displayed as *****. In MATLAB 2008b, a character is turned into an asterisk very slow (first, the actual character is showed) and then the cursor is set to the left of the edit text instead of to the right of the asterisk.

Can anyone tell me if this is a bug in MATLAB 2008b, or if it is an error in the code from the File Exchange?

Thanks for this - very well written. Just need to find the time to practice but thanks for sharing this with us!
