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.
Hidden property
uiinspect
uiinspect is a Matlab utility that displays detailed information about an object's methods, properties and callbacks in a single GUI window.
Undocumented scatter plot jitter
Matlab's scatter plot can automatically jitter data to enable better visualization of distribution density.
Types of undocumented Matlab aspects
This article lists the different types of undocumented/unsupported/hidden aspects in Matlab
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.
Uitable sorting
Matlab's uitables can be sortable using simple undocumented features
Minimize/maximize figure window
Matlab figure windows can easily be maximized, minimized and restored using a bit of undocumented magic powder
Transparent Matlab figure window
Matlab figure windows can be made fully or partially transparent/translucent or blurred - this article explains how
