Yair Altman (12 days 23 hours ago): @Veronica – you are using the new version of uitree, which uses HTML-based uifigures, and my post was about the Java-based uitree which uses legacy Matlab figures. For...
Veronica Taurino (12 days 23 hours ago): >> [txt1,txt2] ans = ‘abrakadabra’
Veronica Taurino (13 days 0 hours ago): Hello, I am just trying to change the uitree node name as you suggested: txt1 = 'abra'; txt2 = 'kadabra'; node.setName([txt1,txt2]); >> "Unrecognized method, property, or...
Yair Altman (16 days 0 hours ago): The version of JGraph that you downloaded uses a newer version of Java (11) than the one that Matlab supports (8). You need to either (1) find an earlier version of JGraph that...

Ben Abbott (55 days 11 hours ago): The graded color is not working for me using R2021a. The plot “HG2 plot line color, transparency gradient” looks exactly like “Transparent HG2 plot...
Yair Altman (78 days 14 hours ago): Oliver – you probably forgot to update hMarkers.FaceColorType to ‘truecoloralpha‘: x=1:10; y=10*x; figure; hLine = plot(x,y,'o-'); drawnow...
Oliver (78 days 14 hours ago): This seems to have been disabled in the most recent version of Matlab (R2021b). When I use this method the hMarker.FaceColorData does change, but the markers are not made...
Yair Altman (97 days 12 hours ago): @Tim – the new uidatepicker() function only works with web-based figures (created using the uifigure() function or App Designer); it is not available on the legacy...
