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.
UIInspect
uiinspect
uiinspect is a Matlab utility that displays detailed information about an object's methods, properties and callbacks in a single GUI window.
Pinning annotations to graphs
Annotation object can be programmatically set at, and pinned-to, plot axes data points.
Accessing plot brushed data
Plot data brushing can be accessed programmatically using very simple pure-Matlab code
JIDE Property Grids
The JIDE components pre-bundled in Matlab enable creating user-customized property grid tables
Accessing the Matlab Editor
The Matlab Editor can be accessed programmatically, for a wide variety of possible uses - this article shows how.
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.
Figure toolbar customizations
Matlab's toolbars can be customized using a combination of undocumented Matlab and Java hacks. This article describes how to customize the Matlab figure toolbar.
Non-textual editor actions
The UIINSPECT utility can be used to expand EditorMacro capabilities to non-text-insertion actions. This is how:
GUIDE customization
Matlab's GUI Design Editor (GUIDE) has several interesting undocumented features. This post describes how to customize GUIDE rulers.
