Handle Graphics Behavior
HG behaviors are an important aspect of Matlab graphics that enable custom control of handle functionality.
Customizing figure toolbar background
Setting the figure toolbar's background color can easily be done using just a tiny bit of Java magic powder. This article explains how.
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.
Solving a Matlab hang problem
A very common Matlab hang is apparently due to an internal timing problem that can easily be solved.
