Creating Graphical User Interfaces

Resize Behavior

You can control whether users can resize the figure window containing your GUI and how MATLAB handles resizing. GUIDE provides three options:

• Non-resizable - users cannot change the window size (default).
• Proportional - let MATLAB automatically rescale the components in the GUI in proportion to the new figure window size.
• User-specified - program the GUI to behave in a certain way when users resize the figure window.

The first two approaches require only appropriate settings for certain properties. User-specified resizing requires you to write a callback routine that recalculate sizes and positions of the components based on the new figure size. The following sections discuss each approach.
