You can build a MATLAB GUI programmatically by creating class-based .m files using uifigure and uigridlayout. This approach replaces binary .mlapp files, enabling repeatable, version-controlled GUI development with interactive UI components and event-driven callbacks.

Yes, you can embed HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in a MATLAB dashboard app using the uihtml component. It synchronizes data with MATLAB through a struct-based Data property, enabling reliable rendering and interactive JavaScript-driven visualizations within the desktop application.

The best way to create a responsive layout for a MATLAB uifigure application is using uigridlayout. It provides responsive grid sizing for interactive UI controls like uibutton, uieditfield, uislider, and uitable, ensuring the dashboard interface adapts cleanly to window resizing.

Yes, MATLAB supports class-based app structures with event-driven callbacks for tool-like workflows. By using uifigure, you can generate handle-class applications that respond dynamically to user interactions with sliders, dropdowns, and tables, updating plots and computed results instantly.

To pass data between MATLAB and a uihtml component in a custom GUI, use a struct-based Data exchange. The uihtml component synchronizes this struct with the embedded JavaScript, ensuring reliable data rendering and interactive communication between the MATLAB workspace and the HTML panel.

No, binary .mlapp files are not required for version-controlling MATLAB GUI development. You can generate interactive MATLAB GUIs entirely in code as class-based .m files, avoiding binary formats entirely to enable clean, repeatable, text-first version control.
