Creating Graphical User Interfaces

Creating Menus - The Menu Editor

MATLAB enables you to create two kinds of menus:

• Menu bar objects - menus displayed on the figure menubar
• Context menus - menus that pop up when users right-click on graphics objects

You create both types of menus using the Menu Editor, which you can access from the Menu Editor item on the Tool menu and from the Layout Editor toolbar.

These menus are implemented with uimenu and uicontextmenu objects.
