Creating Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs)

New Editors for Creating Custom Toolbars within GUIDE

In previous releases, adding toolbars to a GUI had to be done programmatically, by

writing code for the uitoolbar, uipushtool and uitoggletool functions. GUIDE

now has a Toolbar Editor and an associated Icon Editor that allow you to lay out a

toolbar for a GUI and populate it with standard predefined tools for printing, saving,

panning, zooming, annotating, etc. or with custom tools that you design yourself. You can

draw or modify an icon for any tool on your toolbar with the Icon Editor or import one

from an image file.

The Toolbar Editor

When you run GUIDE to create a new GUI or edit an existing one, click the Toolbar

Editor icon in the Layout Editor Toolbar or choose Toolbar Editor from the Tools menu

to open the Toolbar Editor. To add tools to the toolbar of your GUI, you drag standard or

custom tool icons to the toolbar layout area at the top. You can modify a tool's properties

using the Toolbar Editor and Property Inspector. You can also create and customize icons

for tools using the new Icon Editor, described next. You control the behavior of a tool in

your toolbar with its ClickedCallback (and for toggle tools, their OnCallback and

OffCallback) in the GUI's associated M-file. If you use an existing tool, such as Print or

Save, you do not need to modify its callback; it is predefined as %default.

The Icon Editor

The Icon Editor lets you customize the icons for existing tools or create entirely new

icons. Icons are stored as CData for each tool, and can also be read from and saved to

.icn files. The Icon Editor also includes a Color Editor, a palette you can use for picking

predefined colors and defining new ones.

Coordinate Readouts in Layout Editor

The GUIDE Layout Editor now has two fields in its lower left corner that continuously

provide numeric feedback for:

• Current Point — The cursor location within the layout window

• Position — The Position property of the currently selected object(s) in the layout

window
