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.
FindJObj GUI – display container hierarchy
The FindJObj utility can be used to present a GUI that displays a Matlab container's internal Java components, properties and callbacks.
FindJObj – find a Matlab component's underlying Java object
The FindJObj utility can be used to access and display the internal components of Matlab controls and containers. This article explains its uses and inner mechanism.
GUI integrated browser control
A fully-capable browser component is included in Matlab and can easily be incorporated in regular Matlab GUI applications. This article shows how.
Customizing Matlab labels
Matlab's text uicontrol is not very customizable, and does not support HTML or Tex formatting. This article shows how to display HTML labels in Matlab and some undocumented customizations
Performance: scatter vs. line
In many circumstances, the line function can generate visually-identical plots as the scatter function, much faster
Undocumented scatter plot behavior
The scatter plot function has an undocumented behavior when plotting more than 100 points: it returns a single unified patch object handle, rather than a patch handle for each specific
