Title is misleading, the document
is very short and contains very
little useful information. MATLAB's
online doc on GUIs is much more
helpful!

I think it's an excellent short little paper that I wish I had a chance to read back when I was first starting with GUIDE. It would have made an excellent primer before reading Matlab's more-in-depth, but harder-to-understand documentation

It might be a good idea to provide the file in ZIP format as PDF tends to freeze up. Thanks.

Johnathan,

Thank you for this suggestion. I have never updated this submission even though I am aware of its flaws. If you want it zipped, please contact me by E-mail and I will gladly do it.

I think the author meant to wite
The document is NOT intended to provide a step-by-step description ..
(In paragraph 2, sentence 1 the NOT is missing)
Otherwise this is useful, but probably only to those that have written GUIs and know more than just programming basics. Jargon is avoided as the author claims but I think this would be a 100% more useful document (and deserve a 5 rating) if the tips were put into context and a working example was provided.

I really like the document. Thanx a bunch, it has what I needed to continue with my work.... but, just a suggestion, it would really be helpful to put in a tiny little section in the beginning explaining the files that are constructed for a single GUI. That is, to explain where is what, that is, there is a .fig file, a .m callback file and something else (I´m finding this out myself right now) and a very short description of what you may find where and what collection of files are needed to run the GUI and also which file is run to start the GUI once it has been developed. Of course, saying this, I´m finding out myself by testing and I should put that little section in myself... perhaps I will later tonight once I get my stuff working and you can LaTeX it into your .pdf file and we have a very short, concise and awesomely simple crash course in GUI's in MATLAB. If I post such a description... will you put it together with you document?

Got me over a mental hurdle. Very helpful. Thanks!

I've found only small(7 pages) and common information that could be found also in the Matlab help, even more.
I'm wondering how this document is the most downloaded file on this forum.
15 Apr 2005 Dimitri Shvorob

Very brief with a few snippets of trivial code. Where's the beef, i.e. tips?

totally useless!

did not provide with useful information and it's confusing please improve

its too terse
09 Dec 2005 Gunay Yurtsever

It is like a joke, the only thing the file says that in Matlab you can have a GUI. That is all, dont waste your time downloading that document.
But from the downloads it is obvious that people are interested in GUI programing. Please someone else write a good GUI primer, because going over Matlab help takes a day or two.

waste of time..

Excellent for basic GUI

No real nuggets of wisdom or teaching here. Why bother?

This document would probably aide an absolute beginner -- someone who never had considered using GUIDE. However, I would like to see an in-depth guide for GUI design using MATLAB with a focus on usability. I will continue searching.

Hopefully you don't do this for a living because it's terrible.

A completely useless document that should be "voted off the island."
05 Apr 2007 hu man

Worthless. If you can't figure these basics out in 5 minutes you need more than this "guide"

This is a waste of time. Very short and contains bare bones explanations that are already found in MATLAB help with better examples.
19 Jun 2009 Rene

really useless
i thought it can may help our students to get a first introduction as a little guide line.
but it is even useless for that too.
it is better to spend time in the matlab help just to get more used with it.
22 Jun 2009 Christoph Benedikt

not useful
13 Jul 2009 Tanzilur Rahman

not useful at all....cant say basic as well...actualy don understand it tried to explain...some menu..button...

Nothing to write home about.
