If someone is looking for a function to simply switch ALWAYS-ON-TOP property of a figure, without a button on a figure's toolbar, see those "Win On Top" submission I've uploaded (see "Acknowledgements" section above).

I tried with student version R2013, no error report, but it just does not work (figure not on the top).
Can you update it? it would be really helpful!

[LU]

can you make an update? Thanks very much!!!

[per isakson]

Thanks for a great tool. I was just reminded of how dependent on alwaysontop I've become. How do one modify or describe a diagram without seeing it? And thanks for the update!

Thank you for updating. I can confirm it works on R2011b and R2012a on both snow leopard and lion.

[Elmar Tarajan]

updated and tested with R2012a - works!

Hello

This doesn't work with R2011b. I get the following error:

No appropriate method, property, or field fFigureClient for class
com.mathworks.hg.peer.HG1FigurePeer.

Error in alwaysontop>update_pushtool (line 67)
jf.fFigureClient.getWindow.setAlwaysOnTop(1)

Error while evaluating uipushtool ClickedCallback

Please update.

The feature is very helpful for fast iterations in development process. It is better then just doking it into MATLAB environment as all settings are preserved and I can scale the figure as large as needed. Thank you Elmar!
