uiopen (MATLAB Functions)

Display file selection dialog box with appropriate file filters

Syntax

```
uiopen

Description

uiopen displays a file selection dialog from which a user can select a file to open. The dialog is the same as the one displayed when you select Open from the File menu in the MATLAB desktop.

Selecting a file in the dialog and clicking Open does the following:

Gets the file using uigetfile
Opens the file in the base workspace using the open command

Note uiopen cannot be compiled. If you want to create a file selection dialog that can be compiled, use uigetfile.

uiopen, or uiopen('MATLAB') displays the dialog with the file filter set to all MATLAB files.

uiopen('LOAD') displays the dialog with the file filter set to MAT-files (*.mat).

uiopen('FIGURE') displays the dialog with the file filter set to figure files (*.fig).

uiopen('SIMULINK') displays the dialog with the file filter set to model files (*.mdl).

uiopen('EDITOR') displays the dialog with the file filter set to all MATLAB files except for MAT-files and FIG-files. All files are opened in the MATLAB Editor.

Typing uiopen('figure') sets the Files of type field to Figures (*.fig):
