An Overview
The Mapping Toolbox includes a number of graphical user interface (GUI) tools that provide an alternative to entering toolbox commands from the MATLAB command window. The Mapping Toolbox GUIs cover most, but not all, aspects of the mapping process.
The Mapping Toolbox GUI system is a collection of independent GUIs, most of which can be activated from the command line and/or from a map display window at any time during a MATLAB session. The Mapping Toolbox also provides maptool, a comprehensive tool that allows access to most of the toolbox's independent GUIs through a system of figure window menus and buttons.
Most of the Mapping Toolbox GUIs include a Help button used to enter help mode for that particular GUI. Once in help mode, pressing any enabled control will display the help text for that control in a separate help box. Pressing the Done button will close the help box and end help mode.
This chapter is a short tutorial on several of the Mapping Toolbox GUI tools. For a more detailed description of each tool, consult the "GUI Reference" chapter of the online Mapping Toolbox reference documentation.
