Handle Graphics Behavior
HG behaviors are an important aspect of Matlab graphics that enable custom control of handle functionality.

Getting default HG property values
Matlab has documented how to modify default property values, but not how to get the full list of current defaults. This article explains how to do this.
Waterloo graphics examples
Some Matlab usage examples for the open-source Waterloo graphics package.
Waterloo graphics
Waterloo is an open-source library that can significantly improve Matlab GUI.
Undocumented scatter plot jitter
Matlab's scatter plot can automatically jitter data to enable better visualization of distribution density.
Setting axes tick labels format
Matlab plot axes ticks can be customized in a way that will automatically update whenever the tick values change.
Determining axes zoom state
The information of whether or not an axes is zoomed or panned can easily be inferred from an internal undocumented object.
getundoc – get undocumented object properties
getundoc is a very simple utility that displays the hidden (undocumented) properties of a specified handle object.
Controlling plot data-tips
Data-tips are an extremely useful plotting tool that can easily be controlled programmatically.
Bug and workaround in timeseries plot
Matlab's internal hgconvertunits function has a bug that affects timeseries plots. Luckily there is a simple workaround.
