How can I use collected data in a GUI of the US map?

I am doing a project in MATLAB that involves prison data. I know how to make a data table but I am having trouble with the GUI part of this asignment. The step Im having trouble on is below

Create a GUI that contains an US map with states colored according to the incarceration data, a 2D plot of national-level incarcerations over time, some objects (textbox, dropdown menu, etc.) for the user to input their chosen year and metric, and a plot button.

How do i creat a GUI? how do i add textboxes and dropdown menus?

Hi Aden

You can use Thematic Maps to classify attributes and display them on the maps from the table data. Please refer to the following examples to understand how to use Thematic Maps

Thematic Maps — Examples (mathworks.com)

You can add interactive controls to the live script in MATLAB to choose user inputs. Please refer to the following documentation link to understand the different interactive control options available

Hope this helps !!
