New Figure Toolbar Buttons
Two new toolbar buttons and an information bar have been added in this release that
control the new Data Brushing and Data Linking tools. Brushing and linking let you
interactively explore and analyze data.
By default, now when you create axes or plot something into a blank figure, an
informational banner appears across top of the figure with links to documentation for
data brushing and linking capabilities. You can dismiss it by clicking the X button on
right-hand side of the message bar. Once you dismiss it, subsequent figures will not
display the banner unless you select Show linking and brushing message bar in the
MATLAB Preferences Confirmation Dialogs panel.
For more information, see “Data Brushing for Graphs and Linked Variables” on page
18-30 in the Data Analysis release notes and Interactive Data Exploration in the Data
Analysis documentation. Also view the video tutorial that describes these and other new
features.
“v6” Plotting Option Update — Affected Functions
The Version 7.5 (R2007b) release note “The “v6” Option for Creating Plot Objects is
Obsolete” on page 19-33 identified plotting functions that accept the v6 option, which
is now obsolete and will be removed in a future version of MATLAB. There is no change
to the status of these functions in R2008a. However, the list of affected functions in the
R2007b release note had errors and omissions. Below is the correct list of functions that
support the option in their syntax and now warn when it is used:
• area
• bar
• barh
• colorbar
• contour
• contourf
• errorbar
• legend
