Comparing GUIDE and App Designer
MATLAB®offers users two interactive design environments for building apps: App Designer and GUIDE (GUI Design Environment).
应用设计师is the recommended environment for building apps in MATLAB, and GUIDE will be removed in a future release of MATLAB.
After GUIDE is removed, existing GUIDE apps will continue to run in MATLAB, but will not be editable using the GUIDE environment. To continue editing an existing GUIDE-based app and help maintain its compatibility with future MATLAB releases, you can use the GUIDE to App Designer Migration Tool for MATLAB on File Exchange. Alternatively, you can export it from GUIDE to a single MATLAB file by selecting File > Export to MATLAB-file.
To help in deciding how to best proceed with your existing GUIDE app, please consider the following options and which will best meet your needs.
What can I do with my GUIDE app when GUIDE is removed?
