todd welti (7 hours 43 minutes ago): Is there any way to prevent Matlab opening axis props window when you quickly turn off/on a plot line from the plot browser? I find that most annoying.
Yair Altman (2 days 7 hours ago): Perhaps you tried to access the class before you used javaaddpath to add the JAR file to the classpath. If Matlab fails to find a class, then it will not be able to access it...
mukesh Muthu (2 days 7 hours ago): i get the following error , im using matlab 2016b-64bit if i use graph = com.mxgraph.view.mxGraph Undefined variable "com" or class "com.mxgraph.view.mxGraph". if i use graph =...
Sebastian Hölz (7 days 3 hours ago): OK, Been working on this again and found a solution which works in 2020a and 2020b. Below a working example which resets the KeyPressFcn for all ui-modes after activating...

Yair Altman (31 days 8 hours ago): @Alex – thanks, but keep in mind that new functions will only work on the recent Matlab releases. If your code needs to work on older Matlab releases, you could revert to...
