Product Description
After more than 20 years of development, MATLAB has evolved from a powerful matrix calculation application into a universal programming tool used extensively within scientific and engineering communities both commercial and academic. MATLAB versions 6.x and 7.x include functionality for developing advanced graphical user interfaces, GUIs, and real-time animation and graphics. GUI applications offer many advantages for users who wish to solve complex problems by providing interactivity and visual feedback. Some common examples of application areas where GUI development is desirable: . Image and Video Processing . Signal Processing . Communications . Simulation of Complex Systems . Instrumentation and Data Acquisition Interfaces . Control Systems . Financial Analysis . Animation of 2D or 3D Graphical Data This text introduces you to the capabilities of MATLAB for GUI development and covers the following areas in detail: . Handle Graphics programming and low-level GUIs . High-level GUI development using GUIDE . The structure of GUIs including event processing, callbacks, timers, and real-time animation of plots / data . Advanced GUI architectures including multiple figure GUIs and image mapped interface controls Instructional examples and exercises are provided throughout each chapter that offers a hands-on approach to learning MATLAB GUI development. The M-file code for each example and exercise solution is available for download on the web to help you quickly learn how to develop your own GUIs! About The Author Scott T. Smith received his MSEE degree from SUNY at Buffalo in the fields of image sensor applications and image processing. He currently works for Micron Technology Inc. in California as an Imaging Engineer and has 10 years of experience working with MATLAB and developing GUI applications. Previous work experience includes 3 years at the David Sarnoff Research Center (Former RCA Research Labs) in Princeton, NJ as an Associate Member of the Technical Staff in the Advanced Imaging Group as well 3 years as an R&D engineer for an X-ray/scientific imaging company. He is a member of SPIE and IEEE and is an author or co-author of several papers and patents in the field of imaging.

This book really disappoints, particularly given it is quite pricey. It seemed like half of the book was boilerplate code samples (more on this later) and tables of GUI object properties. No treatment of advanced topics like embedding third-party controls (ActiveX or Java). Coordination of multiple GUI entities via shared global variables (primitive). And truly nothing new that you can't get from the online documentation (and save yourself the $45.00 for the book).
As to the code samples, for this price there should have been an accompanying CD/DVD. There is a website where you can get *some* of the examples... which are available to anyone, not just book owners. Had I been more savvy I'd have just downloaded the code, studied it and saved myself some cash.
 Not bad, not well organized March 26, 2007

I have yet to find a good guide to Matlab GUI building. The manuals are too pedantic (lots of style advice and arrows and pictures), and the other books I have spend too much time explaining lists of properties and options. This book also suffers from this: just listing a bunch of options and then going down the list to explain each in turn. I was looking for something more practical, for a higher level programmer: how to go from start to finish of some primary GUI types, with perhaps some brief asides about the various options. This book does do step-by-step solutions to different problems, but the problems seem rather simplistic (not 'advanced') and anyway haven't really addressed the issues I am facing.
Part of the problem is Matlab itself: the data structures used for GUIs are convoluted and opaque and the techniques for building GUIs have gone through a number of revisions so that there are many ways to do the same thing. And I am still not clear what the advantages of the different methods are. So while I can't say that this is a great manual, it isn't any worse than the others. But in the end you will probably end up switching back and forth between all of them and the on-line help -- and still not be able to solve your problems!
excellent resource March 9, 2007

I desperately needed this! Although there was a lot of the "handle" concept that I still had to struggle to learn (and am still learning), this book made it 100 times easier to create my more advanced applications!
GREAT book! December 7, 2006

I taught a course this quarter which introduced our grad students to the fundamentals of MatLab programming -- this book is by far the best reference I could find for the section on "Graphical User Interfaces"!
