- Mitchell (697 days 20 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...
- Eric (746 days 8 hours ago): this save me a lot of time, thank you very much!
- Yair Altman (1068 days 4 hours ago): You forgot to wait for the figure and the axes to fully render. After a pause and drawnow the code works ok (at least in R2021a).
