01 Apr 2011 FIGHT TO THE DEATH AGAINST A GIANT CHICKEN An epic finalfantasy-style fight against an AI controled chicken with a dynamic interface :P Author: Emile B.

Totally made my day!
11 Feb 2011 MATLAB Functional Programming Style Guidelines An annotated presentation for MATLAB programming style guidelines Author: Fayssal El Moufatich

This appears to be a nearly direct copy of Richard Johnson's legendary MATLAB Programming Style Guidelines, just put into PowerPoint format.

07 Jan 2010 xlswrite Easily create a Microsoft Excel format spreadsheet from MATLAB®. Author: Scott Hirsch

Just a note to requests for new features - the xlswrite that has shipped with MATLAB since R14 (MATLAB 7) offers much more flexibility than mine, so I encourage you to check it out if this one doesn't address your needs.
19 Jun 2009 Close all figures except those listed Close all figures except those listed by the user. Author: Karl

I love it. Not sure how I got along for 15 years without it! One small note - the "last" syntax actually keeps the current figure open, which wasn't necessarily the last one created. I love this behavior so much, that I tweaked CAB to do this with no input arguments, too.

Thanks for a simple, elegant, and very useful function.

28 May 2013 dualcursor Add dual vertical cursors to a plot. Author: Scott Hirsch Aditya

Great utility. I especially like how it is easy to right click and export the data.

Can this utility work with subplots and multiple lines within each subplot?

I run into this a lot when looking at test data obtained from DAQ hardware or even when looking at simulation results.

Have you considered incorporating this feature into a utility "ssc_explore" that Atul Suri from Mathworks created?

19 Apr 2013 UIGETVARIABLES: Dialog to pass variables from workspace into GUI UIGETVARIABLES creates a dialog box for selecting variables from the base workspace Author: Scott Hirsch Filion, Adam

Hi Scott,

As an enhancement request, it'd be nice if this could also return the names of the variables selected from the workspace, for use in things like labeling axes.
