Waterloo graphics beta
The Waterloo graphics library extends Matlab graphics with numerous customizable plots that can be embedded in Matlab figures.
Handle graphics
HG2 update
HG2 appears to be nearing release. It is now a stable mature system.
ishghandle's undocumented input parameter
The built-in function ishghandle accepts a second input argument with the expected handle type.
HG's undocumented parameters interface
Some HG functions also accept inputs parameters in a struct fields rather than the normal P-V pairs format.
Handle Graphics Behavior
HG behaviors are an important aspect of Matlab graphics that enable custom control of handle functionality.
Getting default HG property values
Matlab has documented how to modify default property values, but not how to get the full list of current defaults. This article explains how to do this.
Pinning annotations to graphs
Annotation object can be programmatically set at, and pinned-to, plot axes data points.
Undocumented scatter plot jitter
Matlab's scatter plot can automatically jitter data to enable better visualization of distribution density.
Setting axes tick labels format
Matlab plot axes ticks can be customized in a way that will automatically update whenever the tick values change.
