Modifying Matlab's Look-and-Feel
Matlab's entire Look-and-Feel (PLAF, or L&F) can be modified at the control or application level - this article shows how
GUI
Date selection components
The JIDE package, pre-bundled in Matlab, contains several GUI controls for selecting dates - this article explains how they can be used
Tab panels – uitab and relatives
This article describes several undocumented Matlab functions that support tab-panels
Matlab layout managers: uicontainer and relatives
Matlab contains a few undocumented GUI layout managers, which greatly facilitate handling GUI components in dynamically-changing figures.
Advanced JIDE Property Grids
JIDE property grids can use complex cell renderer and editor components and can signal property change events asynchronously to Matlab callbacks
JIDE Property Grids
The JIDE components pre-bundled in Matlab enable creating user-customized property grid tables
Matlab and the Event Dispatch Thread (EDT)
The Java Swing Event Dispatch Thread (EDT) is very important for Matlab GUI timings. This article explains the potential pitfalls and their avoidance using undocumented Matlab functionality.
Inactive Control Tooltips & Event Chaining
Inactive Matlab uicontrols cannot normally display their tooltips. This article shows how to do this with a combination of undocumented Matlab and Java hacks.
Additional uicontrol tooltip hacks
Matlab's uicontrol tooltips have several limitations that can be overcome using the control's underlying Java object.
Continuous slider callback
Matlab slider uicontrols do not enable a continuous-motion callback by default. This article explains how this can be achieved using undocumented features.
