Using java swing components in MATLAB

Unzip these functions to a folder named '@jcontrol' somewhere on your MATLAB path. You can then construct a jcontrol object in MATLAB e.g.: >> myObject=jcontrol(gcf,'javax.swing.JPanel') myObject = jcontrol object: 1-by-1 >> get(myObject) ans = hgcontainer: [1x1 hgjavacomponent] hgcontrol: [1x1 javahandle_withcallbacks.javax.swing.JPanel] hghandle: 2.0012 uipanel: 22.120 >> ******************************************************************************** Note that jcontrol objects now always have a uipanel as an ancestor. This is for compatability with R2008b onwards. The jcontrol constructor will add the uipanel automatically and the jcontrol's subsasgn and set methods will update the uipanel and hgcontainer automatically. In most instances, the rpesence of the uipanel will be transparent. ******************************************************************************** You can then access the MATLAB graphics container and its java object using GET and SET in the usual way, either by accessing the individual components or by accessing the jcontrol. You can also use MATLAB '.' syntax. This also provides access to the java object's methods: myObject.set...... myObject.get...... myObject.is........ Type helpwin jcontrol at the MATLAB prompt for more information. Also see the jcontrolDemo function in the zip. This should not go in the '@jcontrol' folder.
