SUMMARY

The discussion centers on creating a graphical user interface (GUI) in Matlab 7.6 for an existing program. The user seeks to understand the capabilities of Matlab's GUI programming, specifically regarding dynamic changes to the interface, such as creating and destroying objects during runtime. The goal is to implement a dropdown menu that modifies available text boxes and choices based on user selection without executing a new script. Utilizing the Matlab help documentation for GUI examples is recommended for guidance.

Homework Statement



I've been assigned the task of creating a graphical user interface in Matlab 7.6, for a program already written. I haven't coded in Matlab before and I'm completely new to the program and interface.

My question is not so much specific, but more about what can be achieved.

Is it possible by means of programming to have a user interface change? Is it possible to create/destroy objects mid program?

Ideally what I am trying to is something along the lines of a drop down menu, which depending on the selection, changes the text boxes/choices the user can make, without having to run another script.

Any advice and help, much appreciated.
