Create a GUI with GUIDE - Can You Edit the Output?

In summary, GUIDE generates an m-file when creating a GUI. This m-file can be used to edit the GUI, even if it was downloaded from the internet. The command for editing a specific figure is guide(gcf), where gcf means get current figure. The figure to be edited should be open when running this command.

Whenever we use GUIDE to create a GUI, GUIDE generates an m-file. Now,
is it possible for one to use this m-file generated by GUIDE to re-edit the GUI? I mean say I downloaded an m-file from the internet which has a GUI interface. Can I use GUIDE to edit the m-file and "tweak" the interface to my needs?

--thanks.

I figured it out. If anyone cares, the command is guide(gcf); Where gcf means get current figure. Of course the figure you wish to edit should obviously be open when you run that command.

If the gui is saved as foo.fig -- you can edit it specifically using guide(foo)
