MatContM gui not launching

I am using MatLab R2014b. Every time I try to launch the MatContM gui I receive the following error:

No appropriate method, property, or field ww for class matlab.ui.container.Panel.

Error in LayoutNode/distributePos_Horizontal (line 233) wwsum = sum(vertcat(children(:).ww));

Error in LayoutNode/distributePos (line 123) obj.distributePos_Horizontal(pos);

Error in LayoutNode/distributePos_Vertical (line 162) children(i).distributePos( [cLeft cBottom cWidth cHeight]);

Error in LayoutNode/distributePos (line 125) obj.distributePos_Vertical(pos);

Error in LayoutNode/makeLayoutHappen (line 118) obj.distributePos(panelpos);

Error in MainPanel (line 38) obj.mainnode.makeLayoutHappen( get(obj.panelhandle, 'Position'));

Error in gui (line 101) MainPanel( mwindowhandle , session );

Error in startgui (line 13) gui 'nodebug'

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I have encountered the same problem. Right now I still have R2014a, and MatContM startgui can run on 2014a. I suspect the plot command overhaul introduced in 2014b breaks the code. If you have time, you may file a bug report on MatCont's SourceForge website.

Why are you trying to do this:

sum(vertcat(children(:).ww))

As it says, for that graphical element, there is no property called ww. What GUI elements (lines, dots, checkboxes, scrollbars, text, etc.) are "children" a part of? Like you're trying to get the markers in a stem() plot or something like that? And why do you think those graphical elements should have a ww property?

Tim's Answer moved here since it's not an answer to the original question:

I'm not sure what GUI elements "children" are a part of, or why the program thinks anything should have a ww property. All I did was download the MatContM package, set a path in MatLab, and type "startgui" and I received the above error message.

I never heard of it. Is it sold by the Mathworks? If so, call them and ask them. Otherwise, ask the software publisher/author why their code won't run.
