GUIDE is the standard way of creating GUIs in MATLAB, but sometimes it is better to make the GUI programmatically. This often happens when you want to easily create and destroy buttons and other widgets during the course of the GUI's use. Handwritten code is often more compact and gives you more control over your GUI. This eight and a half minute video shows you how to make a GUI without using GUIDE. This GUI will allow one button to create a second button. The second button will delete itself when clicked. This shows how dynamic GUIs can be built.
