Product Description
Product Description
MATLAB®, now the industry-standard engineering language for computation, analysis, and visualization, continues to evolve in its capabilities. Version 6.x incorporated several major improvements, including significant enhancements to its graphics features, such as transparencies, increased 3-D visualization, and an improved rendering engine.
The bestselling Graphics and GUIs with MATLAB has been fully revised to reflect MATLAB version 6. The third edition also features a number of improvements in both content and organization that ensure its readers get the optimum level of detail and best possible instruction.
New in the Third Edition:
Full updates that reflect MATLAB 6.x enhancements
Expanded discussions on 2-D and 3-D graphics
New chapters on good GUI design and data visualization techniques
Volume visualizations
Updated language commands
Deeper coverage of programming techniques, such as data structures and callback techniques
Exercises in each chapter
Additional examples and updated illustrations
Graphics and GUIs with MATLAB, Third Edition retains the comprehensible, almost conversational tutorial style that made its predecessors so popular but offers a streamlined organization and deeper coverage that make this edition an even better way to acquire or increase proficiency in using MATLAB to its fullest graphics capabilities.

Format: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
4 Feb 2003
Format: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.

GUI programming and user interface properties
13 Jan 2000
Format: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
22 Aug 2000
Format: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.
