I am having problems in trying to make my MATLAB GUIs automatically resizeable. After exhaustively searching the web for help and lots of testing, I could not find out a solution. I have been developing a simple GUI (with MATLAB, without using GUIDE) in my laptop (Screen size/resolution = 1366x768). A very simplified version looks like this:
When I run the same GUI in my desktop computer (Screen size/resolution = 1920x1080), it shows in the following way:
The dimensions of the GUI are automatically initialized taking into account the screensize (the code is provided in the bottom of this post). As you can see (highlighted by the red arrows), the fonts/spacing between components do not automatically resize so that the GUI has the same aspect no matter where we run the file. Additionally, when the GUI is manually resized, some overlap of the components occurs:
function resizingGUIexample() %% SET UP GUI hdl.mainfig = figure(); % MANAGE FIGURE DIMENSIONS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- set(hdl.mainfig, 'Units', 'pixels'); dims = get(0, 'ScreenSize'); screenHeight = dims(4); verticalMargins = floor((0.2*screenHeight)/2); % =10% of the screen height in each side figureHeight = (0.8*screenHeight); figureWidth = (0.8*screenHeight)*(4/3); % 4/3 Aspect Ratio set(hdl.mainfig, 'Position', [0, verticalMargins, . figureWidth, figureHeight]); movegui(hdl.mainfig,'center') % move GUI to center color = get(hdl.mainfig,'Color'); % get background color to hide static texts, etc. % AXES --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- hdl.axes = axes('Parent', hdl.mainfig, . 'Units', 'Normalized', . 'Position', [0.295 0.05 0.63 0.63*(4/3)]); % PUSH BUTTONS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- hdl.donePB = uicontrol(hdl.mainfig, . 'Position', [0.85 0.91 0.075 0.075], . 'String', 'Done', . 'Fontsize', 16, . 'Units', 'normalized', . 'FontWeight', 'Bold'); % BUTTON GROUP and RADIO BUTTONS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- hdl.buttonGroup = uibuttongroup('Parent', hdl.mainfig, . 'FontSize', 16, . 'FontWeight', 'Bold', . 'BackgroundColor', color, . 'Units', 'Normalized', . 'Position', [0.05 0.69 0.2 0.2]); titleBG = sprintf('Intensity\nNormalization'); set(hdl.buttonGroup, 'Title', titleBG); hdl.VolumeRB = uicontrol(hdl.buttonGroup, . 'Style', 'radiobutton', . 'String', 'Volume', . 'FontSize', 14, . 'FontWeight', 'Bold', . 'Units', 'normalized', . 'BackgroundColor', color, . 'Position', [0.1 0.67 0.8 0.3]); hdl.SliceRB = uicontrol(hdl.buttonGroup, . 'Style', 'radiobutton', . 'String', 'Slice', . 'FontSize', 14, . 'FontWeight', 'Bold', . 'Units', 'normalized', . 'BackgroundColor', color, . 'Position', [0.1 .25 0.8 0.3]); end Any ideas of how I can solve these issues? Thanks a lot in advance. Kind regards, Fábio Nery EDIT1: I am also extremely open to suggestions for better ways to initialize the GUI dimensions and strategies for avoiding problems when running GUIs in different monitors/screen resolutions.
