- Manu (1 day 22 hours ago): Hi, thanks very much for this code. Working perfectly for me on a uiimage object which I use to display a tiled map (like OpenStreetMap). Since I needed more possible interactions than...
- alain barraud (4 days 6 hours ago): Hi yair, I have tested your miniserie. All works fine with R2019b except some built in demos (as noted by many users) which require older releases. You say that toolstrip can...
- Leandro de Oliveira (4 days 16 hours ago): My contribuition to create new datatip clc clear all close all x = 0:0.1:10; y = sin(x); h = figure(1); hObj = plot(x,y); index = [25 75 100]; hold on for i = 1:3...
- Collin (5 days 14 hours ago): A potential lightweight alternative to the standard axes toolbar is the FloatingPalette hFTB = controllib.plot.internal.Float ingPalette(FigureHandle, ButtonList) Its not as pretty...
- Komutan Logar (7 days 2 hours ago): Thank you very much. I’m using dynamic plotting, moving particles, only one figure created as a digraph. The performance has slightly improved and I also didn’t...
- Jan K (10 days 4 hours ago): While the obj.function vs function(obj) times are almost identical for Matlab code (see i.e. the discussion here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/17 45686/3620376), it’s not solved...
- Jeremy (12 days 22 hours ago): Yair, Thank you for your work, most likely buying the book soon. But in the meantime I’m hitting a snag on setting up the JDBC connection on the fly. Can you provide a bit more...
- Kaveh (15 days 0 hours ago): Hi there! Thanks for the article. I’m trying to modify L&F style in one of my GUIs, but I’m running into a weird problem. Here’s the problem: I update L&F...
- Yair Altman (25 days 20 hours ago): A simple alternative that does not require any Java is to use simple HTML. For example: uicontrol('Style','popup', 'String',{'A', 'B', 'C'});
- Yaroslav (25 days 21 hours ago): Hi Yair, Unfortunately, javacomponent did not solve the problem. The culprit is actually the renderer, as suggested here. After installing the java classes...
- Rohit (26 days 0 hours ago): Is there any way to display “Figure’s default Toolbar” when docked to “ToolGroup”? as it does when you use Matlab’s default docking option.
- Yair Altman (26 days 4 hours ago): @Michi – in recent Matlab releases Matlab no longer stores the Java handle in the tab-group’s ApplicationData property, so using getappdata() returns an empty array,...
- Yair Altman (26 days 4 hours ago): @Yaroslav – instead of customizing the built-in Matlab uicontrol, create a standard javax.swing.JComboBox (where adding a JSeparator is easy), then add it to your figure...
- Yair Altman (26 days 4 hours ago): @Jan – undecorate only works with legacy (Java-based) figures, not the new App-designer-created uifigures (which use a completely different technology).
- Jan Kl (26 days 4 hours ago): Hello Yair, not sure if you’re still reading comments here but I will give it a shot. I love the functions you provided on the File Exchange. However, when trying to undecorate...
