Setting the Control Type

The control type is the type of control you want to use to represent and change the attribute.

To see what each type of control looks like, type guide at the command line to get the Guide Control Panel. The icon for each control has a tooltip, and you can see what a control looks like by selecting it and bringing it into the palette area. Or, you can see the help for the uicontrol function for information about each kind of control.

The available options for Control type depend on the Data type that you chose earlier. The table below shows the available data types for each control type.
