Creating Graphical User Interfaces

Using GUIDE Templates

GUIDE provides templates for several basic types of GUIs. You can modify these templates to make your own GUIs. The advantage of using the templates is that you can create GUIs more quickly and easily.

To view the templates, enter guide at the MATLAB prompt. This displays the GUIDE Quick Start dialog, as shown in the following figure.

When you select a template in the left pane, a preview of it appears in the right pane. Clicking OK opens the template in the Layout editor. See Using GUIDE Templates for more information about GUIDE templates.

The next section, Getting Started with GUIDE, provides a detailed example of how to create a GUI using GUIDE.
