Sinopsis

As the volume and complexity of data and results continues to grow with the increasing complexity of data sources and algorithms, the need for intuitive representations of that data and results becomes increasingly critical. The graphical representation of the results is often not only the most effective means of conveying the points of the study or work which has provided the data, but is in most cases an expectation of the audience of the work. Even as computing hardware continues to increase in capability, MATLAB® continues to be one of the best applications available for providing both the computational capabilities of generating data and displaying it in a variety of graphical representations. With the advent of version 6, MATLAB has taken on a new look, a new integrated development environment (IDE), new graphics development tools, and introduces some new functions. It is in that light that we offer the “upgraded” version of this book.
 

Welcome to the third edition of Graphics and GUIs with MATLAB! Those of you familiar with the first and second editions will find that this third edition carries on in the same tradition of conversational style that Patrick set forth in the first two editions, as well as illustrative examples, and some details that give you a peak under the hood of MATLAB. But just as MATLAB version 6 has introduced major changes in several areas, so has this third edition. In addition to the new MATLAB specific commands and techniques, this edition offers sections on Visualization Considerations and Elements of GUI Design, which are general treatments applicable to any development software. Those familiar with the earlier editions will also be happy to find that there are now problem sets at the end of some chapters that will (hopefully) motivate the new MATLAB programmer to exercise the techniques addressed earlier in the chapter and make this book more suitable to classroom settings. But just so that you don’t become too frustrated, solutions for the problems, as well as code listings for most of the examples, are available at

MATLAB is not just a computation and plotting package; it is a versatile and flexible tool which allows users with even the most elementary programming capabilities to produce sophisticated graphics and graphical user interfaces (GUIs). The level of sophistication is only limited by one’s needs, curiosity, and imagination. As in the previous editions, it is the goal of this book to provide you with information, examples, and techniques which should give you the background you need to become a MATLAB graphics and GUI expert. If you are already conversant with the MATLAB programming language, this book will provide you a ready reference with illustrative examples. If you are new to MATLAB, you will find this book an excellent tutorial leading you to MATLAB proficiency. As in the previous editions, this book will help take you from wherever you are in your MATLAB skills, to many steps closer to where you want to be.
