Creating Graphical User Interfaces

Open a New GUI in the Layout Editor

Open GUIDE by typing guide at the MATLAB prompt. This displays the Quick Start dialog shown in the following figure:

If GUIDE is already open, you can display a similar dialog, without the Open Existing GUI tab, by selecting New from the File menu.

In the Quick Start dialog, select the Blank GUI (default) template. Click OK to display the blank GUI in the Layout Editor, as shown in the following figure. You can choose to save your GUI immediately under a different name by selecting Save on startup. Otherwise, GUIDE prompts you to do so the first time you run the GUI.
