SKM (17 days 15 hours ago): It is 10 years since the original article, but I would like to bring to attention that such issues have not yet been resolved. For example, programmatically opening and closing files in...
Yair Altman (48 days 1 hour ago): @Ken – I cannot reproduce your report, it works as expected for me even on R2022b
Yair Altman (48 days 4 hours ago): try to use the waitfor function
Danila Berezin (52 days 15 hours ago): Hi I have a similar issue. Did you find a workaround for this?
Ken Johnson (61 days 4 hours ago): Why does the second catch block in this code example not work? (It works if you restart MATLAB and then omit the first try-catch block.) try a = [0,0;0,0]\[1;1]; catch...
Santiago (65 days 19 hours ago): It works perfectly. Thanks so much.
Yair Altman (66 days 0 hours ago): Santiago – you can get the mouse X,Y positions from the Java eventData object (getX(), getY()), convert this into a point (p=java.awt.Point(x,y)), then use the JTable...
Santiago (66 days 16 hours ago): Hi Yair. I’m using the MouseReleasedCallback but I need to get the indices of the selected cell. I can get them without problems with left clicks but, if I try to do it with...
Yair Altman (84 days 20 hours ago): Adam – perhaps there is a builtin syntax-pane control for uifigures, but I am not aware of one. Perhaps you can try to implement a uihtml panel with a GeSHi...
Yair Altman (84 days 20 hours ago): Marcel – 12 years and ~25 releases since I wrote this article, it is no surprise at all that some things no longer work the same way. In fact, the surprising thing is that...
Yair Altman (84 days 20 hours ago): See the documentation of the uitree function. The text in my article refers to the legacy (Java-based) uitree version, which is not documented, whereas it is documented and...
SOULEYMANE Zakaria (90 days 2 hours ago): Hello. Thank you for sharing. I would like to know if someone could help me with the syntax it takes to use uitree on “Appdesigner”. When I use the syntax you...
Nicholas (90 days 14 hours ago): Hello Yair, Have you, or anyone else, had an opportunity to try this demo in R2022a/b? I cannot get the HTMLBrowserPanel object to update with html text (nor with an html file, if...
Marcel (103 days 2 hours ago): Hi, I am trying to set the legend to Static, but this command seems not to work in R2022a anymore: set(gca,’LegendColorbarL isteners’,[]); Any ideas? THANKS / marcel
Gres (103 days 6 hours ago): In 2018b, you can get the icons by calling [hh,icons,plots,txt] = legend({‘Line 1’});
