Solving a Matlab MCOS bug
Matlab has a bug with handling multi-element class-access constructs. This post explains the problem and solution.
Undocumented feature
Figure keypress modifiers
The figure's CurrentModifier property provides a simple and consistent way to retrieve keypress modifiers: alt-, control- and shift-clicks.
Enabling user callbacks during zoom/pan
Matlab zoom, pan and rotate3d modes hijack the user's figure callbacks, but this can be overridden.
Font selection components
Several built-in components enable programmatic font selection in Matlab GUI - this article explains how.
Adding dynamic properties to graphic handles
It is easy and very useful to attach dynamic properties to Matlab graphics objects in run-time.
Solving an mput (FTP) hang problem
Matlab may hang when using passive FTP commands such as mput and dir. A simple workaround is available to fix this.
Accessing internal Java class members
Java inner classes and enumerations can be used in Matlab with a bit of tweaking.
Static Java classpath hacks
Several hacks that facilitate using the static Java classpath in Matlab are explained.
Using linkaxes vs. linkprop
linkaxes has a built-in limitation, so using linkprop may sometimes be beneficial.
Capturing print events
Matlab print events can be trapped by users to enable easy printout customization.
