A brief entry regarding a new file I put on my GitHub repository, exampleGUI.m. It is a small and rather extensively documented Matlab script for a basic GUI, containing the following elements:

• New project
• Save project
• Open project
• Radio buttons
• Drop-down menu
• Check-boxes
• Edit field
• Updating text
• Slider (loops around)
• Plotting area

It was a very quick hack for a client to get people up and running that have never before written a Matlab GUI. The script was written and tested with Matlab R2012a, on a computer running 64-bit Windows 7. I will not be able to give any updates or assist with potential debugging, as the project with this client comes to an end soon, and I will be without Matlab (and Windows) thereafter (the joy of code written in a proprietary language; however, thanks to my client who generously gave its OK to put this script online; I think it might be useful to a wider audience).
