MATLAB: Opening gui .fig files…

figure fig gui

Hi there, I am trying to open a gui file, with .fig extension in Matlab's editor. The file looks like… well pretty scrambled. I thought the .fig files were similar to .m files.
I would appreciate any help to make possible to open this files. I am a Mac user on 7.6.0.324 (R2008a).
Best, b.

.fig files are .mat files not .m files. You will not be able to open them in a text editor. You will need to use GUIDE, or need to openfig() the file and use the property inspector on the resulting figure.
