Yair Altman (4 days 16 hours ago): Nicholas – yes, I used it in a compiled Windows app using R2022b (no update). You didn’t specify the Matlab code location that threw the error so I can’t help...
Nicholas (5 days 12 hours ago): Hi Yair, Have you attempted your displayWebPage utility (or the LightweightHelpPanel in general) within a compiled application? It appears to fail in apps derived from both R2022b...

chengji chen (44 days 1 hour ago): Hi, I have tried the method, but it didn’t work. I plot figure by m_map toolbox, the xticklabel will add to the yticklabel at the left-down corner, so I want to move down...
Yair Altman (51 days 18 hours ago): @Alexander – this is correct. Matlab stopped including sqlite4java in R2021b (it was still included in 21a). You can download the open-source sqlite4java project from...
