Jiro<\/a>'s pick this week is GUI Layout Toolbox<\/a> by Ben Tordoff<\/a> and David Sampson, who are MathWorks consultants from our UK office.\r\n <\/p>\r\n

It's been a while since I highlighted a GUI layout entry. For those interested in looking at my previous posts, here they\r\n are: Part 1<\/a>, Part 2<\/a>, Part 3<\/a>, Part 4<\/a>, Part 5<\/a>, Part 6<\/a>.\r\n <\/p>\r\n

This is the ultimate GUI Layout Toolbox. This toolbox contains layout utilities that integrate seamlessly with MATLAB UI components.\r\n In addition, it allows components to resize dynamically (by draggable dividers) and comes with a highly-requested tab component.\r\n The toolbox is fully developed using the MATLAB Class system.\r\n <\/p>\r\n

If you think you're impressed with all the capabilities that it offers, wait until you take a look at the full documentation\r\n that it comes with. The documentation includes Examples, Function Reference Pages, and Getting Started section -- all the\r\n sections you see in our documentation.\r\n <\/p>\r\n

Let's see this thing in action!<\/p>
