Syntax

h = uipanel()

h = uipanel(property, value, ...)

h = uipanel(parent, property, value, ...)

Inputs

parent

Handle of a container object, which could be a figure, frame, uipanel, or uibuttongroup.

Type: double | integer

Dimension: scalar

property, value

'aspectratio': Specifies if the aspect ratio for 'backgroundimage' needs to be ignored ('off') or kept ('on'). Default value is 'off', and the 'backgroundimage' is resized to the dimensions of h.; Type: string
'backgroundcolor': Specifies the background color. Valid values are 'transparent' or a real vector specifying RGB values in the range 0-255 or 0-1.; Type: string | vector
'backgroundimage': Specifies the background image; requires a path to a valid image file.; Type: string
'bordertype': Specifies the border type. Valid options are 'beveledin' | 'beveledout' | 'etchedin' (default) | 'etchedout' | 'line' | 'none'; Type: string
'borderwidth': Specifies the width of the border. Default value is 1.; Type: integer
'fontangle': Specifies the angle of the displayed font. Valid values are 'regular'(default) and 'italic'.; Type: string

'fontsize': Specifies the size of the displayed font.; Type: scalar
'fontweight': Specifies the weight of the displayed font. Valid values are 'normal'(default) and 'bold'.; Type: string
'parent': Specifies the parent.; Type: scalar
'position': Position and size of h. Value is specified as a vector of form: [left top width height]. If 'units' has a value of 'normalized', values must be between 0 to 1.; Type: vector
'string': Text to be displayed on h.; Type: string
'tag': User-defined string to tag graphical control objects.; Type: string
'units': Specifies units of measurement. Valid values are 'pixels'(default) and 'normalized'. Value 'pixel' indicates that h has a fixed size and position specified by 'position'. Value 'normalized' indicates that h will be resized if parent is resized.; Type: string
'userdata': User-defined numerical data.; Type: complex | mtx | scalar
'visible': Specifies if h is visible. Valid values are 'on'(default) and 'off'.; Type: string

Outputs

h: Handle of the uipanel.

Example

Creates a uipanel with a background image:

f = gcf;
 panel = uipanel(f, 'units', 'normalized', 'position', [0, 0, 0.99, 0.3], 'backgroundimage', 'image1.jpg');
