MatpiGUI v Core Matlab

Matlab provides its own guide and it is expected in the future will provide an updated version. 

So you may ask "Why is this toolbox better?"

It is well acknowledged that the standard Matlab guide is not suitable for developing advanced GUI's.

The main advantages of the GUI are provided below for comparison with Matlabs latest GUI generation (correct Jan 2015):

& The brush and linkdata was developed (in ~1 month) for a commercial partner - it was done on discount so it could be incorporated into the toolbox for the wider benefit.

Note that MatpiGUI is developed by a small team where your requirements/feedback could be implemented quickly into a new version - something that may not be possible in larger organisations.
