24            <p>As applications get bigger the code gets more complex. The simple
25                application structure used here does not scale well to large applications,
26            however some small adjustments can make life much better:</p>
27            <ul>
28                <li>Convert the "data" structure into a <a href="matlab: doc handle">handle object</a>. This allows
29                    a single "data" object to be shared between mutliple graphical interfaces, and in turn means that the interface
30                need not be built as a single monolithic entity.</li>
31                <li>Use the <a href="matlab: doc event.listener">events system</a> to trigger updates
32                    to specific parts of the GUI in response to bits of the data object changing. This removes the need
33                for a single large "UpdateInterface" function and reduces coupling between parts of the interface. For example,
34            the "SelectedDemo" property would have an associated event such that when it is changed by a callback (or from the command-line) it
35        notifies other interface components of the change. Each interface component (or group thereof) can
36    just listen for the events that affect it.</li>
37            </ul>
38            <p>Advice on how to build large-scale applications is beyond the scope
39                of this document. If you need help in this area, please contact your MathWorks
40            account manager who will be able to put you in touch with a technical specialist.</p>
