Transparent Matlab figure window
Matlab figure windows can be made fully or partially transparent/translucent or blurred - this article explains how
Hidden property
Enable/disable entire figure window
Disabling/enabling an entire figure window is impossible with pure Matlab, but is very simple using the underlying Java. This article explains how.
UDD Properties
UDD provides a very convenient way to add customizable properties to existing Matlab object handles
Multi-column (grid) legend
This article explains how to use undocumented axes listeners for implementing multi-column plot legends
FIG files format
FIG files are actually MAT files in disguise. This article explains how this can be useful in Matlab applications.
Panel-level uicontrols
Matlab's uipanel contains a hidden handle to the title label, which can be modified into a checkbox or radio-button control
Tab panels – uitab and relatives
This article describes several undocumented Matlab functions that support tab-panels
Matlab's HG2 mechanism
HG2 is presumably the next generation of Matlab graphics. This article tries to explore its features.
Plot LimInclude properties
The plot objects' XLimInclude, YLimInclude, ZLimInclude, ALimInclude and CLimInclude properties are an important feature, that has both functional and performance implications.
Axes LooseInset property
Matlab plot axes have an undocumented LooseInset property that sets empty margins around the axes, and can be set to provide a tighter fit of the axes to their surroundings.
