Matlab compilation quirks – take 2
A few hard-to-trace quirks with Matlab compiler outputs are explained.
Pure Matlab
GUI formatting using HTML
HTML formatting an be used to align and background-color text within Matlab uicontrols such as buttons, listboxes, uitables etc.
Additional license data
Additional meta-data about installed toolboxes can be retrieved in Matlab.
Quirks with parfor vs. for
Parallelizing loops with Matlab's parfor might generate unexpected results. Users beware!
Afterthoughts on implicit expansion
The new implicit expansion feature of Matlab R2016b can break user code in unexpected ways.
Icon images & text in Matlab uicontrols
HTML can be used to add image icons to Matlab listbox and popup (drop-down) controls.
Aligning uicontrol contents
Matlab uicontrols can often be customized using plain HTML/CSS, without need for advanced Java.
Zero-testing performance
Subtle changes in the way that we test for zero/non-zero entries in Matlab can have a significant performance impact.
AppDesigner's mlapp file format
MLAPP files created by AppDesigner can be inspected and manipulated outside AppDesigner.
Customizing axes part 5 – origin crossover and labels
The axes rulers (axles) can be made to cross-over at any x,y location within the chart.
