Adding dynamic properties to graphic handles
It is easy and very useful to attach dynamic properties to Matlab graphics objects in run-time.
UI controls
Customizing Matlab uipanels
Matlab uipanel controls can be customized using Java in ways that are impossible with plain Matlab.
Unorthodox checkbox usage
There are various ways to display interactive split-panes in Matlab GUI. Uiextras flex-panels override a checkbox control's CData to display a divider.
Customizing combobox popups
Matlab combobox (dropdown) popups can be customized in a variety of ways.
Customizing listbox/combobox items
Matlab listboxes can be customized using custom Java cell-renderers.
CheckboxList
Matlab listboxes can be enhanced with checkboxes next to each item.
Undocumented button highlighting
Matlab button uicontrols can easily be highlighted by simply setting their Value property.
Listbox layout customization
Matlab's listbox layout can be modified to display multiple item columns and different inter-cell margins.
Editable combo-box
Matlab's popup menu (combo-box) control is quite limited in its abilities. This article explains how we can work around these limitations.
