The contour lines of 3D Matlab plot can be customized in many different ways. This is the 2nd article on this issue.
Medium risk of breaking in future versions
Figure keypress modifiers
The figure's CurrentModifier property provides a simple and consistent way to retrieve keypress modifiers: alt-, control- and shift-clicks.
Enabling user callbacks during zoom/pan
Matlab zoom, pan and rotate3d modes hijack the user's figure callbacks, but this can be overridden.
Font selection components
Several built-in components enable programmatic font selection in Matlab GUI - this article explains how.
Solving an mput (FTP) hang problem
Matlab may hang when using passive FTP commands such as mput and dir. A simple workaround is available to fix this.
Capturing print events
Matlab print events can be trapped by users to enable easy printout customization.
Sliders in Matlab GUI
Professional-looking slider controls can easily be integrated in Matlab GUI.
Undocumented view transformation matrix
Matlab's view function returns an undocumented output transformation matrix.
Transparent legend
Matlab chart legends are opaque be default but can be made semi- or fully transparent.
Customizing Matlab uipanels
Matlab uipanel controls can be customized using Java in ways that are impossible with plain Matlab.
