Creating Graphical User Interfaces

Selecting GUIDE Application Options

Issuing the guide command displays an empty Layout Editor with an untitled figure. Before adding components to the layout, you should configure the GUI using the GUIDE Application Options dialog. Access the dialog by selecting Application Options from the Layout Editor Tools menu.

Configuring the Application M-file

The GUIDE Application Options dialog enables you to select whether you want GUIDE to generate only a FIG-file for your layout or both a FIG-file and its companion application M-file. You can also select a number of different behaviors for your GUI.
