- Yair Altman (3 days 3 hours ago): Matlab’s statusbar hack only works with non-docked figures. If you need them to work also in docked figures, replicate the functionality using regular panels.
- Yair Altman (3 days 3 hours ago): Jan – if you mean the controls in the statusbar, the only controls that change their relative position are the ones that are attached to right (“East”) border,...
- Yair Altman (3 days 4 hours ago): The slider thumb color is typically set by the Look&Feel and cannot be changed, except by changing the L&F’s standard control color (which is not advisable). To...
- Yair Altman (3 days 15 hours ago): @Batuhan – I don’t know what exactly happened in your specific case, but it could be that you are not storing the ToolGroup handle in a persistent location, as I...
- RichardST (9 days 23 hours ago): Hello All, Ok, I see that I was doing wrong. I needed to: i) wrap the event in a handle, as per the advice above ii) change the callback to display the event’s properties >>...
- RichardST (10 days 0 hours ago): Hello Yair, Is this still meant to work in later versions of MATLAB? With my version of MATLAB Version 9.4 (R2018a) My results are: >> evt = EventTest evt = EventTest@71652c98 >>...
- Michele (11 days 21 hours ago): Dear Yair, I would like to be able to enable/disable editing of specific cells in my table (not just the whole column!), and perhaps also grey-out the disabled cells. Does your...
- jmarco (12 days 17 hours ago): @Yair Altman – Thanks for the quick response. I’ll investigate the color properties some more. I tried changing the look and feel using the directions on your website,...
- Yair Altman (12 days 17 hours ago): This is not a settable property of the standard Swing JSlider. You need to modify the slider’s look-&-feel properties. These include several color properties, so play...
- jmarco (12 days 17 hours ago): Is there a way to color in the slider between the lower bound and the current value? Here’s an example of what I mean: (in case the image doesn’t load, this image is from...
- Yair Altman (13 days 0 hours ago): Alternatively, set the Java frame’s default close operation to DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE, as follows: jFrame.setDefaultCloseOperatio n(jFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE); % rather than...
- Yair Altman (13 days 5 hours ago): @Michael – look here: https://undocumentedmatlab.com /blog/modifying-matlab-look-an d-feel You’d probably want to modify the L&F only during your figure...
- Michael (13 days 5 hours ago): Hi Yair, thanks very much for this great site and books! This is probably the wrong place to ask a question, so sorry beforehand. I am using Matlab 2015b on Windows 7. I have a...
- Gep (14 days 3 hours ago): Can’t thank you enough for your quick response. Hope the api doesn’t change much so we can play as long as possible
- Yair Altman (14 days 3 hours ago): I think the only major performance hit is in the initial rendering. I did not notice any sluggishness when updating the internal figures, but I never ran a thorough benchmark.
