Creating Graphical User Interfaces

Panels

Panels group GUI components and can make a user interface easier to understand by visually grouping related controls. Panel children can be panels and button groups as well as axes and user interface controls. The position of each component within a panel is interpreted relative to the panel. If the panel is resized, you may want to reposition its components.

The following callback executes and gets the Position property of uipanel2 whenever the panel is resized. Once you have the size data contained in the Position property, you can modify the Position properties of the child components to reposition them. Use the Children property of uipanel2 to get the handles of its child components.

function uipanel2_ResizeFcn(hObject, eventdata, handles)
% hObject    handle to uipanel1 (see GCBO)
% eventdata  reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB
% handles    structure with handles and user data (see GUIDATA)
pos = get(hObject,'Position');
% proceed with callback...
