How to integrate matlab with a GUI in python

So I have made a GUI in python and I have done some simualtions in MATLAB. Now I want the entered values in GUI by the user to pass on to matlab functions. The matlab would run the code and generate some plots. And then I want the plots to be show in GUI that is in python. So can anyone help me on this how to do this in a simple way?

Thank you.

I was hoping someone would answer this question. I want to do the same thing. Did you find a solution?

Yes please! App Designer is extremely frustrating to use in my opinion. If you find a way to use MATLAB code with a Python GUI, please let us know.

You can call matlab from python (with some contraints) via the matlab external engine.

Any plots you create in matlab during the call from python will pop-up you (the same way they do when running matlab natively). Or, you can save the data to plot in a .mat file, you can read that into python:

https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/generated/scipy.io.loadmat.html

and plot using a python plotting routine (matplotlib.pyplot typically).

The matlab.engine needs to be installed in your python site-modules https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_external/install-the-matlab-engine-for-python.html

Note: MATLAB R2021B only support python 2.7, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9
