More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Graphics and GUIs with MATLAB completely examines the MATLAB graphics system, describing the enhancements and added features of MATLAB 5. This second edition provides illustrative example sets to simplify the process of learning and mastering the powerful, flexible, and easy-to-use graphics environment. Graphics and GUIs with MATLAB extensively outlines the spectrum of MATLAB graphics and graphical user interfaces: instructing readers to maximize the high performance and open-environment capabilities for generating, displaying, and analyzing numerical data as well as enabling readers to quickly create interesting and beautiful graphics. The book covers plotting, color, animation, the new z buffer algorithm, new functions for generating graphics for presentations, and GUI programming techniques. Designed as both an introduction for those unfamiliar with the software's capabilities and as an advanced learning tool for those regularly working on MATLAB, Graphics and GUIs with MATLAB uses step-by-step tutorials that guide its reader through its graphics featuring a level of detail, explanation, and instruction that permits readers to discover the full potential of the MATLAB graphics programming capability.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book,
By Mr. Y. Gasnier "Codel" (Reigate, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Graphics and GUIs with MATLAB (Graphics & GUIs with MATLAB) (Paperback)
As with Patrick's earlier text, Graphics and GUIs is intended to present a comprehensive discussion of the MATLAB graphics system. This third edition builds on the earlier editions by including the objects and properties new to MATLAB version 6 onwards and includes the new features of the MATLAB environment.
Many just want to be able to plot their data quickly and effectively. MATLAB has addressed this desire by expanding, for instance, the Figure Window tools, and providing casual users with a tool to modify many figure properties. Consequently, most of the first half of this book requires basic knowledge on how to handle graphics. The second half thoroughly covers the concept of graphics handling, and how to create graphical user interfaces.

Not a Tutorial and GUI Coverage is Limited,
By Nathaniel T Janewit - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Graphics and GUIs with MATLAB (Graphics & GUIs with MATLAB) (Paperback)
Despite the promise of this text (Graphics AND GUIs, not just graphics), only one chapter (out of 10) is fully dedicated to GUIs. It provides ways to do most everything, but some things, such as exclusive radio buttons, can be implemented better using other source code (from MATLAB documentation or from online resources) as examples. However, the explanations of handle graphics and general graphical functionality are very useful (for example you can graph R^3 functions with adjustable transparency), and although it is not perfectly understandable at times, it is certainly better than most of the MATLAB resources (especially the standard documentation) you may find out there.Before expecting to program GUIs, it should be advised that the reader should know a programming language similar to MATLAB's; C would be the most useful to know since MATLAB's language is based on it. That said, there are many well-commented code examples to follow to improve your understanding, but if you have a hard time following the code, the book often won't clear much up. Since there are few MATLAB books covering graphics and GUIs, this book may be the best to have at the moment. Still, one should buy this keeping in mind that it is most useful to those who already have background in programming. It is not a tutorial. 19 of 19 people found the following review helpful:

GUI programming and user interface properties,
By Daniel Mall - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Graphics and GUIs with MATLAB (Paperback)
Common plotting techniques covers material already presented in the MATLAB manuals. Handle graphics is a great introduction to the MATLAB user interface organization. The properties of user interface objects are covered comprehensively including the properties not documented by MATLAB. The author distinguishes between MATLAB 4 and MATLAB 5 features and programming. Explains stretchable GUIs and interruptible callbacks. The book needs a deeper coverage of MATLAB programming techniques especially in the data structures, code organization, and callback techniques. Example functions use the finite state machine programming style. Good supplement to the MATLAB user manuals.

Nice book, but sloppy editing,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Graphics and GUIs with MATLAB (Paperback)
I found this book to be a useful addition to the Matlab user-manual. Editing, however, could have been better. There are simply too many little annoying writing and spelling errors, and the coverage of certain Matlab commands sometimes lacks a logical structure. Having said that, I still would recommend the book for Matlab users who want to explore advanced graphics or GUI-design.
