How do you enable a GUI to adjust to fit screens of varying resolution

I created a GUI in Guide and I want my GUI to adjust to fit screens of different varying resolution, because my application will be used on different computers.

Is there a way to allow this guide? If so, how?

or

Is there a few lines of code need to enable this feature? If so, where can i find examples of the code?

Thank you in advance,

In GUIDE, under Tools -> GUI options you can specify the resizing of the figure, including your own resize function.

the GUI option "resize" allows me to adjust the size of the GUI. However my objective was to have the GUI adjust itself with respect to the size of the screen it is used on. In addidtion, the "resize" option adjusts the size of the GUI, however, it doesn't adjust the size/position of the buttons, tables and etc in the GUI.

Do you have any idea of how I can solve this problem?

[Tom]

You get find the screen size from the root:

 get(0,'ScreenSize')

I thought the buttons etc. should resize automatically, but it sounds like you'll have to use the ResizeFcn to do it manually: setting all of the controls/ panels to normalised units should help for this.

[Cordelle]

How would i utilize get(0, 'ScreenSize')?

For clarification, go to property inspector in guide and set all the units to normalized?

[Tom]

try running it in the command line - it will give you the screen size in pixels. Yes, or you can change them when the GUI loads, for example in the OpeingFcn:

set(findobj(handles.figure1),'Units','Normalized')

[Cordelle]

Once im given the screen size, how can i use the info to allow my GUI to adjust to any screen itself?

[Tom]

You can set the figure size to the screensize:

 set(handles.figure1,'Units','Pixels','Position',get(0,'ScreenSize'))

And from there resize the objects of the GUI.

 GUI = figure('Color',[0.941 0.941 0.941],...
    'Name','HAWTsimulator',...
    'NumberTitle','off',...
    'MenuBar','none',...
    'Unit','normalized',...
    'Position',[0 0 1 1],...
    'outerposition',[0 0 1 1]);
