Yair Altman (5 days 13 hours ago): Dom – call drawnow *just before* you set hLine.MarkerHandle.FaceColorTy pe to 'truecoloralpha'. Also, you made a typo in your code: it’s truecoloralpha, not...
Dom (6 days 11 hours ago): Yair I have tried your code with trucoloralpha and the markers do not appear transparent in R2021b, same as for Oliver.
Yair Altman (9 days 19 hours ago): Ren – This is usually the expected behavior, which avoids unnecessary duplications of the Excel process in CPU/memory. If you want to kill the process you can always run...
Yair Altman (10 days 8 hours ago): When you use plot() without hold(‘on’), each new plot() clears the axes and draws a new line, so your second plot() of p2 caused the first plot() line (p1) to be...
Cesim Dumlu (16 days 16 hours ago): Hello. I am trying to do a gradient plot for multiple functions to be displayed on the same axes and each one is colorcoded by respective colordata, using the same scaling. The...

Yair Altman (63 days 12 hours ago): @Sagar – use the view(az,el) function to rotate the 3D axes.
Sagar Chawla (63 days 12 hours ago): I want to know how to change the x-axis to the z-axis. I mean the position. Like if there is a 3d animated graph then how to change position of the axis. X-axis in place of...
Ren (63 days 12 hours ago): I noticed that xlsread will create a hidden and never-dying special server that always has priority when actxGetRunningServer is called. So this cause a problem that no matter how many...
