Compatibility Considerations
The Index and Demos tabs are no longer in the Help browser:
To find terms that were in the Index, use the search feature instead.
To access demos for a product, go to the Contents pane and expand the Demos entry
for the product.
The Actions button on the toolbar provides access to features for the displayed page.
Previously, some of these features were available on individual toolbar buttons. To add
individual toolbar buttons, right-click the toolbar and select Customize.
If you provide your own files for use in the Help browser:
Remove the helpindex.xml entry from the info.xml file for your toolbox. MATLAB
no longer supports the Index.
Demos you add now appear in the Contents pane under Other Demos, which is
after the entries for all MathWorks products.
For more information about the new Help browser features, see Help and Product
Information.
Workspace and Variable Editor
Improved Workspace Plotting Tool
The Plot Selector button on the Workspace Browser and Variable Editor
toolbars has a new look and added capabilities, options, and help. The tool now displays
larger icons, includes many more graphing functions, summarizes each function, and
displays pop-up windows with syntax descriptions (function hints). You can customize
the tool by rearranging and categorizing functions, and by creating a list of “favorites”.
For further details, see this video demo and the release note “Enhanced Plot Selector
Simplifies Data Display” on page 15-24.
Managing Files
Enhanced Current Folder (Directory) Browser
The Current Directory browser is now the Current Folder browser.
