Publish a GUI

I have a friendly front-end input GUI on my analysis program and
would like to include the GUI figure (with the user-specified inputs)
in the Word document I generate with the publish command. Normal
figures seem to go into the Word document with no problem... it's
only the GUI that doesn't seem to make the leap. Advice? Thank you.

one of the solutions

plot(0:10,'o-r');
% now, copy the current canvas to the clipboard
% <ALT>+<PRT SCR>
% open word, and
% -> edit
% --> paste special
% ---> device independent bitmap

I was hoping for something programmable. I want the GUI to
automatically be published in the Word document whenever the
application is used.

Is there a way to grab the handles from the GUI figure (at close,
perhaps, so that the final state of the user-supplied entries is
captured) and re-plot it as a standard non-interactive figure so that
it'll get sent to the Word document along with all of the other
normal figures?

You could try using getframe and frame2im to save the gui figure as
an image, then replot that image in a new figure.

Thanks Kelly! I included the following code in the close button
callback:

function close_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
F=getframe(gcf);
[handles.output.gui_image]=frame2im(F);
guidata(hObject,handles);

Thanks again!
