Santiago (19 days 19 hours ago): Hi Yair, excellent blog as always. I have the doubt if it is possible to use an uitab as a parent of an uimenu or a toolbar? I’d like to add one of those options to my uitab....
Yair Altman (48 days 0 hours ago): Try to use a filename with .gz extension – this will use GZIPOutputStream instead of ZipOutputStream to compress the data, and perhaps it will solve the problem. If not,...
Thomas (59 days 3 hours ago): Thanks Yair, and sorry I’ve not been warned of your answer. I’m facing again the issue, even when increasing this Matlab setting to its maximum (8,159Mb). I guess the...
Yair Altman (64 days 6 hours ago): Don’t reparent a pre-created uitree – create it after the new figure is already shown.
Himanshu Jain (64 days 6 hours ago): My uitree is already created but it’s visibility is set false. Now I created new figure and I want to attach the already created uitree to this figure. I tried setting...

Cris Luengo (85 days 22 hours ago): Neither set(0,’HideUndocumented’,’off’ ) nor classhandle(…) work any more (testing on R2021a). However, it is possible to convert a HG2 handle to a struct, and see all the...
Yair Altman (94 days 6 hours ago): yes – assuming you created the spinner using the javacomponent function, you can modify the Position and Units properties of the component’s container handle, which...
Santiago (94 days 13 hours ago): Hi Yair. Is it possible to modify the spinner’s position (x, y, w, h) after it has been created? I’m trying to do it during a SizeChangedFcn callback. Thanks.
Yair Altman (98 days 17 hours ago): No. In the new web-based uifigures you need to use uihtml and uistyle to update the table appearance.
Santiago (98 days 17 hours ago): Hi , Yair. ¿Do the HTML options still work in the uitables created with the app designer?
Yair Altman (131 days 23 hours ago): Yes, the report is still available. You can get it here.
