Is it possible to create a MULTIPLE INTERFACE DOCUMENT in MATLAB

I am working on a project which requires a single Parent Form Window and many Child window. I want to know if it possible to create such a Multiple Document Interface in MATLAB

Thanks in Advenace

Do you mean UISplitPane?

Or something like this:

desktop = com.mathworks.mde.desk.MLDesktop.getInstance;
myGroup = desktop.addGroup('myGroup');
desktop.setGroupDocked('myGroup', 0);
myDim = java.awt.Dimension(5, 2);
desktop.setDocumentArrangement('myGroup', 2, myDim)
S = warning('off', 'MATLAB:HandleGraphics:ObsoletedProperty:JavaFrame');

figH = zeros(1, 10);
for iFig = 1:10
  figH(iFig) = figure('WindowStyle', 'docked', ...
           'Name', sprintf('Figure %d', iFig), ...
           'NumberTitle', 'off');
  set(get(handle(figH(iFig)), 'javaframe'), ...
           'GroupName', 'myGroup');
  pause(0.02);  % Magic, allow processing java events
end 

warning(S);

Note: Works in 2016b also.

Is there a way in your above example to add a panel on the left side of the desktop in a fixed position and have the figures floating in the rest of the space? I am trying to simulate a Multiple Document Interface and an Tree inside a larger window. Thanks.
