Draggable plot data-tips
Matlab's standard plot data-tips can be customized to enable dragging, without being limitted to be adjacent to their data-point.
Hidden property
HG2 update
HG2 appears to be nearing release. It is now a stable mature system.
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.
uiinspect
uiinspect is a Matlab utility that displays detailed information about an object's methods, properties and callbacks in a single GUI window.
Determining axes zoom state
The information of whether or not an axes is zoomed or panned can easily be inferred from an internal undocumented object.
getundoc – get undocumented object properties
getundoc is a very simple utility that displays the hidden (undocumented) properties of a specified handle object.
Controlling plot data-tips
Data-tips are an extremely useful plotting tool that can easily be controlled programmatically.
Uitable sorting
Matlab's uitables can be sortable using simple undocumented features
Minimize/maximize figure window
Matlab figure windows can easily be maximized, minimized and restored using a bit of undocumented magic powder
