UI elements with matlab_kernel

Open expectopatronum opened this issue 8 years ago • 4 comments

Hi,

is it possible to have UI elements (maybe through widgets) with a MATLAB kernel? I have googled a lot but I could not find any answer. I would also be happy if you can give me a link if this is already answered :) Most important for me would be buttons (user clicks and some code is executed) and textboxes (user enters a value and it's stored into a MATLAB variable).

Best regards, Verena

Hi @expectopatronum; unfortunately, not. You'd have to use the the Matlab UI forms directly.

(as in, not inline in the notebook but as a standalone Matlab window).

Is there the plan to incorporate something like this? I tried creating a uicontrol and to my surprise it didn't generate it an error, but it's also not usable, because it just renders an image. image

I'd also be happy to implement something myself, I guess in combination with jupyter-js-widgets it should be possible but I'm not yet sure where to start.

I'm not actively adding features because I don't have a Matlab license. We happily accept feature PRs though :smile:.
