@sipsj11 – you are very mistaken: first, the method of setting the figure’s position to [0 0 1 1] has existed forever, not just since HG2.

Secondly, this method is NOT equivalent to true maximization of the window, which is achieved by clicking the relevant icon on the top-right of the figure. For example, it ignores (overlaps) the taskbar and also shows the window borders, which a truly-maximized figure doesn’t.

fig=gcf;
fig.Units='normalized';
fig.OuterPosition=[0 0 1 1];

@Michele – uisplitpane is available on Matlab File Exchange: the https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/23073-uisplitpane-split-a-container-into-two-resizable-sub-containers

Also consider using the GUI Layout Toolbox that contains similar functionality

Hi,

Where Could I find the updated code of uisplitpane.m?

Thanks

@Aaron – firstly, Matlab buttons do support HTML, just as do all other uicontrols, except text labels.

Secondly, you could always attach a MouseClickedCallback function to your JLabel.

I am a first time poster but I truly love your site and it has helped me solve many a problem.
I am running R2014a. I’ve created a GUI that allows the user to select from several languages. In order to support Spanish, for example, I needed to use Latin characters supported by html. As you know, the push button string property does not support html, so I created a JLabel to fit over the button to allow html strings.

The problem is, using HG1 I am still able to click anywhere on the button for its functionality, while in HG2 the portion of the button covered by the jLabel is not ‘clickable’.

Do you know why there is a difference? And do you know a possible work around for this or a different method?

Thanks

graphicsversion(fig, 'handlegraphics')==false does indeed indicate that HG2 is in use. I’m not sure why it would fall back to using HG1 on your computer. Try creating a new figure with a very simple plot and see whether it still happens. Then contact MathWorks support to ask for their assistance.

I have run into a seemingly peculiar situation with HG2 with an intern I am mentoring. He is running MATLAB 2014b that was installed in January 2014 on a windows 7 OS.
Running:

 graphicsversion(fig, 'handlegraphics');  

returns a “0” which I thought should indicate that HG2 is in fact running, but the figures and plots he is creating look like they are using the old graphics engine. I am not sure if I can post a screenshot in the comments, but the colors and the graphics definitely look like the old version. We tried creating plots on other computers in our team (both windows and macs), that had installed the same version of MATLAB from the same ISO file, and they all seem to have HG2 running properly.

Is there something trivial we are missing?

Thanks!

Sid
