| Creating Graphical User Interfaces | |
Application-defined data provides a way for applications to save and retrieve data stored with the GUI. This technique enables you to create what is essentially a user-defined property for an object. You can use this property to store data.
Note that guidata provides an easy to use interface to application data. When using the GUIDE-generated application M-file, it is simpler to use guidata than to access application data directly. See Managing GUI Data for more information.
