Graphic sizing in Matlab R2015b
Matlab release R2015b's new "DPI-aware" nature broke some important functionality. Here's what can be done...
Stock Matlab function
Customizing contour plots
Contour labels, lines and fill patches can easily be customized in Matlab HG2.
Adding dynamic properties to graphic handles
It is easy and very useful to attach dynamic properties to Matlab graphics objects in run-time.
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.
Using linkaxes vs. linkprop
linkaxes has a built-in limitation, so using linkprop may sometimes be beneficial.
Some Matlab performance-tuning tips
Matlab can be made to run much faster using some simple optimization techniques.
copyobj behavior change in HG2
the behavior of Matlab's copyobj function changed in R2014b (HG2), and callbacks are no longer copied.
Undocumented view transformation matrix
Matlab's view function returns an undocumented output transformation matrix.
Handle object as default class property value
MCOS property initialization has a documented but unexpected behavior that could cause many bugs in user code.
Plot legend title
Titles to plot legends are easy to achieve in HG1 (R2014a or earlier), but much more difficult in HG2 (R2014b or newer).
