Gui#

class Gui(NameValueArgs)#

Bases: handle

Gui lightweight wrapper to launch and place App Designer apps.

Instantiates an app by name (via feval), positions the UI figure using preset strings or fractional coordinates/sizes, allows updating via update(), and manages lifecycle with close().

Example:

 g = Gui(name="MyApp", fpath="", loc=[0.1,0.1], size=[0.5,0.5]);
g.initialize(42); % passes 42 as an argument to app constructor
 g.update();
 g.close();
