Creating Graphical User Interfaces

Making Your GUI Nonresizable

Certain types of GUIs are typically nonresizable. Warning and simple question dialog boxes, particularly modal windows, are usually not resizable. After a simple interaction, these GUIs are dismissed so changing their size is not worthwhile.

Property Settings

GUIDE sets the following properties to implement this style of GUI:

• Units properties of the figure, axes, and uicontrols should be set to characters (the Layout Editor default) so the GUI displays at the correct size at runtime.
• Resize figure property set to off.
• ResizeFcn figure property does not require a callback routine.
