Graphics and GUIs with MATLAB

Designed as both an introduction for those unfamiliar with the software's capabilities and an advanced learning tool for those who work with MATLAB on a regular basis, this easy-to-use book provides step-by-step tutorials that guide you through MATLAB graphics at your own pace. With this book on your desk and MATLAB on your computer, you will have all the detail, explanation, and instruction necessary to accomplish almost anything graphics related.

Unlike other books on this topic, Graphics and GUIs with MATLAB reaches beyond the norm and explores all of MATLAB's undocumented features and capabilities, sparing you from having to experimentally discover these on your own. In addition, it supplies you with the tools and knowledge needed to implement your specific MATLAB graphics needs and applications. This practical guide contains icons in the page margins for quick location of particular sections, appendices to summarize key information you are bound to look up when programming, and an extensive index to help locate information. This book also supplies a graphical user interface builder, called GUIMaker (gooey-maker), and its user guide. This tool facilitates the creation of MATLAB graphical user interfaces (GUIs) and is an example of the kind of packages you will be able to create after reading this book.
