Menu items are used in almost every application you use. Some of the more well-known ones are the 'File' and 'Edit' menu items. Menu items can be similarly used in a MATLAB GUI, and this video shows how to program them.

This is the first video in my 10-video series on coding a program in MATLAB to compute, display, and save a NACA 4-digit airfoil. The series starts right from the beginning, and we work our way to the final code. I explain everything I do, so it should be easy to follow.
IN THIS VIDEO:
We start by opening up a new graphical user interface by typing guide in the command window, and lay out our GUI buttons, boxes, etc. After saving the GUI, we format the resulting m-file for ease of coding in the subsequent videos.
If you havent watched my other videos on the NACA 4-digit airfoil series, I would recommend doing that now.

Axes can be used to display data on a plot, or even to display an image. This video shows how to display a plot with data in a MATLAB GUI.")

A waitbar (or progress bar) allows you to visualize when a program will finish. The argument to the waitbar fills up the bar with the percentage specified. While its a fun way to see how long you have to wait until everything is done computing, it is extremely time consuming, and I would probably recommend just outputting data to the command window using fprintf.")
