I want to implement circle shaped static or edit text boxes instead of rectangle ones in my GUI design? Is there a way to do this?

Thanks a lot….

MATLAB: Change the font of a text edit box using checkbox in gui

You can assign a callback to the checkbox that will change the FontSize property of the text.

Example:

f= figure
txt = uicontrol('Style','text',...
    'String','hello','Tag','txt1') %text object with tag 'txt1'
check_box = uicontrol('Style','checkbox',...
    'callback',@edit_txt) %checking the box triggers callback function 'edit_txt'

Now you can define the callback as:

function edit_txt(Obj_handle, event)
t = findobj(gcf,'Tag','txt1') % this will be your text object.
    if Obj_handle.Value == 0 % if unchecked. Note: Obj_handle is the handle to the chkbox
        t.FontSize = 8;
    else %if checked
        t.FontSize = 30;
    end
end

First make up your string. Then set the 'String' property of the static text control to that string with the set() command. If it's in an intensive loop, you might have to use drawnow to get it to update immediately.

myString = sprintf('Hello world!\nThe value is %d', someVariable);
set(handles.text1, 'String', myString);
drawnow; % Needed only if this is in a fast loop.
