Answer 1

[Evan]

You could create a editbox in a figure and display the value there:

Example:

fh = figure;
prompt = {1 3};
eh = uicontrol('Style','edit','String',num2str(prompt{1} + prompt{2}));

For ways of customizing your editbox, including its position, read up on uicontrol properties: http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/uicontrol_props.html

For more sophisticated GUIs, you may want to look into GUIDE: http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/creating_guis/ways-to-build-matlab-guis.html

figure('Name','Di')

prompt = {4 5 5 1 3};

uicontrol('Style','text','unit','inches','position',[1 1 1 1],'String',sum(cell2mat(prompt)));

uicontrol('Style','text','String','The sum','unit','inches','position',[1 2 1 0.5]);

A more simple approach is the use of set:

set(handles.your_text_object_in_GUI,'String','your_string_to_display');

In your GUI, every object has a tag (see the property inspector), just change your_text_object_in_GUI by the tag of your text object.
