How to convert .m to .mlapp

How to convert .m to .mlapp

[Adam Danz]

.m is a file typically containing a script or function. .mlapp is an app designed in app designer. The request doesn't make sense.

Actually i get .m file made by app designer from other person

so when i want to adjust something it is really hard to that because that files can't load at app designer

as you know, we can save .m form even though we made a code at app designer

so i want to migration .m file (it is made by app designer) to .mlapp

"Actually i get .m file made by app designer from other person"

What does that mean? App designer files are stored as .mlapp.

I think the m file you have was not created in app designed but was created bottom-up by creating a figure using uifigure() and additng other components manually. If that's the case, you cannot convert that to app-designer format. In fact, if that's the case, the m-file is better than an app designer file because you have more control of the bottom-up approach.

Another interpretation is that someone copy-pasted the content from the appdesigern code into an m file. But I doubt that m-file would even function.

If you attach the m file, it may clear up this issue.

A Matlab .mlapp file can be converted into .m file by using save as (export to .m file) button. But I don't know how can I convert .m file, created by exporting from Matlab App, into .mlapp file. I'm also researching this too

If you have a GUI(.m) made in matlab and you want to convert it to MATLAB app(.mlapp), you can use migration tool provided by MATLAB.

[Adam Danz]

If the GUI was created by guide() then you'd need the m file and the fig file for migration.

If the GUI was created using uicontrol(), that can't be migrated. It's much better to build the GUI bottom-up anway.
