JCFL (21 hours 9 minutes ago): I was trying the above trick to change the transparency of contour lines and wondering why not all the lines have changed — then I found your post. Thanks and your post saved me.
Patrick Fitzgerald (3 days 0 hours ago): Just a heads up to anyone else digging around for help related to this: if you assign BackrgoundColor to a pushbutton-style uicontrol, it seems to prevent you from...

Manzn (45 days 10 hours ago): Thank you man! you saved me, when there was no more light 😀
Yerlan (46 days 15 hours ago): Hello Mr. Altman, how can I disable menu items in the context menu? E.g. when I am trying to do this: menuItems = jmenu.getSubElements; menuItem1 = menuItems(1);...
Yair Altman (47 days 7 hours ago): Thanks for the note Eric – you forgot the crucial call to jTable.setLabelTable(labelTabl e) – I added it into your code snippet above.
