UI_control.m

To create a slider like on the following figure.

function ex_uicontrol
    % Example code for uicontrol reference page
    % Creates a slider. Found on Matlab tutorial

    % Create a figure and an axes to contain a 3-D surface plot.
    figure;
    hax = axes('Units','pixels');
    surf(peaks);

     % Create a uicontrol object to let users change the colormap
    uicontrol('Style', 'slider',...
        'Min',1,'Max',50,'Value',41,...
        'Position', [400 20 120 20],...
        'Callback', {@surfzlim,hax});   % Slider function handle callback
                                        % Implemented as a subfunction
       % Add a text uicontrol to label the slider.
    uicontrol('Style','text',...
        'Position',[400 45 120 20],...
        'String','Vertical Exaggeration')

end

function surfzlim(hObj,event,ax) %#ok
    % Called to set zlim of surface in figure axes
    % when user moves the slider control 
    val = get(hObj,'Value');
    surf(val*peaks);
    zlim(ax,'auto');%[-val val]);
