Pasting Cut or Copied Graphic Objects Can Create an Axes
The way in which MATLAB handles copying (or cutting) and pasting children of axes
such as lineseries, barseries, or contourgroup objects has changed slightly. In previous
releases, if no destination axes was selected prior to pasting one or more such objects,
they would be pasted into the current axes (returned by the gca function). MATLAB no
longer makes this assumption; if no axes is currently selected when you paste graphic
objects, a new axes is created in the destination figure to contain them.
To avoid creating a new axes where you do not want to do so, you should be in plot edit
mode and have selected a destination axes before using Edit -> Paste or typing CTRL-
V. You can use the Plot Browser to conveniently select objects to copy and to paste into.
Inspector Has New Look
The Property Inspector (the GUI summoned by the MATLAB inspect command) has a
new look, but no changed functionality. The inspector enables you to view and change the
most commonly used object properties. The figure below compares the previous version
(7.1, left) of the Property Inspector with the new version (7.2, right):
