Frame
The frame style uicontrol is not an object that is meant to be interacted
with. It is a decoration. For example, in the GUI in the previous section
the text labels stand apart from the uicontrols they refer to because the
figure color is not the same as the background colour. You can get a
more integrated appearance by adding a frame:

uicontrol(’Position’,[99 231 332 77],’Style’,’frame’);
uicontrol(’Position’,[110 280 60 19],’Style’,’text’,...
’String’,’Name:’);
uicontrol(’Position’,[175 280 246 19],’Style’,’edit’);
uicontrol(’Position’,[110 262 60 19],’Style’,’text’,...
’String’,’Address:’);
uicontrol(’Position’,[175 262 246 19],’Style’,’edit’);
uicontrol(’Position’,[110 243 60 19],’Style’,’text’,...
’String’,’Sex:’);
uicontrol(’Position’,[175 243 121 19],’Style’,’radiobutton’,...
’String’,’Male’);
uicontrol(’Position’,[301 243 121 19],’Style’,’radiobutton’,...
’String’,’Female’);

You must issue the commands to draw the uicontrols over the frame
after you issue the frame command, otherwise the frame will obscure
the uicontrols. Some people like to divide their GUIs into sections using
frames. In this GUI are three frames:
