Syntax

guide
guide(filename)
guide(figs)

Description

guide opens GUIDE, a UI design environment. The GUIDE environment provides a set of tools for creating user interfaces (UIs). These tools simplify the process of laying out and programming UIs.

guide(filename) opens the specified MATLAB® figure file for editing in GUIDE. If the figure file is not on the MATLAB path, specify the full path. Only one filename can be opened at a time.

example

guide(figs) opens each of the Figure objects in figs in a separate copy of the GUIDE design environment. Use this syntax if you want to edit one or more preexisting figures in GUIDE that have been saved to variables.

Examples
