is it possible to draw a line in matlab gui panel

Can we draw a line like the one in a figure in MATLAB guide panel to separate the sections?

You could use an annotation('line') object, as annotation objects are in figure coordinates. But I would not recommend doing that.

I would recommend that you put the two different areas into different uipanel()

[Aash]

you mean that I should make two uipanels?

[Walter Roberson]

Yes, one uipanel for each section. Each uipanel will have a border.

[Aash]

thanks

I have made two panels now but the border is not showing up which seprates them. I have changed the colour of both panel to differentiate them. how to make a border look visible an dark. I am trying changing vlues of borders but nothing change

[Walter Roberson]

Set the uipanel HighlightColor to 'k'

[Aash]

what do you mean by k? it opens up colour pallette to select colors from.

[Walter Roberson]

'k' is Black.

You can add a CreateFcn callback for the uipanel similar to

function uipanel1_CreateFcn(varargin)
  set(varargin{1}, 'HighlightColor', 'k')

If you do then you do not need to work with the color chooser: the color will be set at the time the figure is opened. (You would need to close the GUI to see the result.)
