| Graphics and 3-D Visualization, MATLAB® Version 7.6 (R2008a) Release Notes | |
New features and changes introduced in this version are:
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 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.
The Version 7.5 (R2007b) release note The "v6" Option for Creating Plot Objects is Obsolete identified plotting functions that accept the v6 option, which is now obsolete and will be removed in a future version of MATLAB.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:
Note that the updated list adds functions plot3 and quiver3.
In the earlier release note, the following functions were incorrectly identified as accepting the v6 option:
These functions do not call v6 code and are not affected by it becoming obsolete.
Specifying the v6 flag to any plotting function now results in a warning that the option is being removed, but the option still functions. To generate a FIG-file for a plot created with the v6 option, you still need to use the -v6 option to the hgsave command in order to save it in a form that a previous version of MATLAB can read. Figures containing annotations (such as textboxes, arrows, ovals, and rectangles) that are saved this way open in previous versions, but the annotations do not display because different objects are used to contain them in Version 7 than before. That is, the annotation objects have never been backward compatible.
