Blocked wait with timeout for asynchronous events
It is easy to convert asynchronous (streaming) events into a blocked wait in Matlab.
Listeners
Auto-scale image colors
Images can be automatically color-scaled for maximum resolution, using the undocumented MarkedClean event.
Enabling user callbacks during zoom/pan
Matlab zoom, pan and rotate3d modes hijack the user's figure callbacks, but this can be overridden.
Using linkaxes vs. linkprop
linkaxes has a built-in limitation, so using linkprop may sometimes be beneficial.
Undocumented HG2 graphics events
Matlab's new HG2 graphics engine includes many new undocumented events that could be used in various ways.
Property value change listeners
HG handle property changes can be trapped in a user-defined callback.
Disabling menu entries in deployed docked figures
Matlab's standard menu items can and should be removed from deployed docked figures. This article explains how.
Waiting for asynchronous events
The Matlab waitfor function can be used to wait for asynchronous Java/ActiveX events, as well as with timeouts.
Setting axes tick labels format
Matlab plot axes ticks can be customized in a way that will automatically update whenever the tick values change.
Blurred Matlab figure window
Matlab figure windows can be blurred using a semi-transparent overlaid window - this article explains how
