Yair Altman (2 days 2 hours ago): Adam – perhaps there is a builtin syntax-pane control for uifigures, but I am not aware of one. Perhaps you can try to implement a uihtml panel with a GeSHi...
Yair Altman (2 days 2 hours ago): Marcel – 12 years and ~25 releases since I wrote this article, it is no surprise at all that some things no longer work the same way. In fact, the surprising thing is that...

dani (26 days 4 hours ago): hi!! how i can set the horizontal scrollbar to the leftside when appearing! now it set to right side of text
Yair Altman (35 days 1 hour ago): Dom – call drawnow *just before* you set hLine.MarkerHandle.FaceColorTy pe to 'truecoloralpha'. Also, you made a typo in your code: it’s truecoloralpha, not...
Dom (35 days 23 hours ago): Yair I have tried your code with trucoloralpha and the markers do not appear transparent in R2021b, same as for Oliver.
Yair Altman (39 days 7 hours ago): Ren – This is usually the expected behavior, which avoids unnecessary duplications of the Excel process in CPU/memory. If you want to kill the process you can always run...
