Matlab's HG2 mechanism
HG2 is presumably the next generation of Matlab graphics. This article tries to explore its features.
Hidden property
Plot LimInclude properties
The plot objects' XLimInclude, YLimInclude, ZLimInclude, ALimInclude and CLimInclude properties are an important feature, that has both functional and performance implications.
Axes LooseInset property
Matlab plot axes have an undocumented LooseInset property that sets empty margins around the axes, and can be set to provide a tighter fit of the axes to their surroundings.
Plot LineSmoothing property
LineSmoothing is a hidden and undocumented plot line property that creates anti-aliased (smooth unpixelized) lines in Matlab plots
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.
Customizing print setup
Matlab figures print-setup can be customized to automatically prepare the figure for printing in a specific configuration
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
Customizing uiundo
This article describes how Matlab's undocumented uiundo undo/redo manager can be customized
Detecting window focus events
Matlab does not have any documented method to detect window focus events (gain/loss). This article describes an undocumented way to detect such events.
Context-Sensitive Help
Matlab has a hidden/unsupported built-in mechanism for easy implementation of context-sensitive help
