Thanks Pietro. I plan to write a post about some of feature's features in the future. Keep a look-out for this on this blog. You can see this in my TODO list. So much to do, so little time... Yair

I was looking for an undocumented matlab feature named ‘feature’ and google luckied me here. Maybe you know something about. I tried

which feature

and I found out this ‘feature’ is an undocumented built-in function.

How I got across it?

I typed configinfo.m M-file attached to Matlab white paper on performance.

Nice blog, useful even for a beginner in Matlab as I am.

Thanks for this tip.
I was in a similar need, and was getting the legend cell via get, appending the new string, and setting the cell back.

leghandle = findall(gcf, 'tag', 'legend');
legstr = get(leg,'String');
% ensure legstr is a cell, not a string
if ischar(legstr), legstr = mat2cell(legstr); end
legstr(end+1) = {'New legend string'};

This seems much simpler.
