Santiago (13 days 0 hours ago): It works perfectly. Thanks so much.
Yair Altman (13 days 6 hours ago): Santiago – you can get the mouse X,Y positions from the Java eventData object (getX(), getY()), convert this into a point (p=java.awt.Point(x,y)), then use the JTable...
Santiago (13 days 21 hours ago): Hi Yair. I’m using the MouseReleasedCallback but I need to get the indices of the selected cell. I can get them without problems with left clicks but, if I try to do it with...
Yair Altman (32 days 1 hour ago): Adam – perhaps there is a builtin syntax-pane control for uifigures, but I am not aware of one. Perhaps you can try to implement a uihtml panel with a GeSHi...

Gres (50 days 11 hours ago): In 2018b, you can get the icons by calling [hh,icons,plots,txt] = legend({‘Line 1’});
Adam (51 days 23 hours ago): Hi Yair, Is there any way to implement this SyntaxPane functionality in the new uifigure-based apps? Thanks!
Yair Altman (52 days 6 hours ago): @Mitchell – in most cases the user wants a single string identifier for the computer, that uniquely identifies it with a distinct fingerprint that is different from any...
Mitchell (52 days 15 hours ago): Great post! I’m not very familiar with the network interfaces being referenced here, but it seems like the java-based cross-platform method concatenates all network...
Yair Altman (55 days 9 hours ago): Dani – You can use jViewport.setViewPosition(java .awt.Point(0,0)) as I showed in earlier comments here
dani (56 days 4 hours ago): hi!! how i can set the horizontal scrollbar to the leftside when appearing! now it set to right side of text
