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.

07 Feb 2012 Data space to figure units conversion A utility function to simplify use of annotation function Author: Scott Hirsch Hannes

perfect tool fpr annotation, thank you!
28 Jan 2012 SHADOWPLOT Add a shadow to an existing surface plot. Author: Scott Hirsch M., Pavel
27 Jan 2012 datalabel Interactive labeling of data points on a plot. Author: Scott Hirsch Daly, Robert

For time series data you can get the 'x coordinate' as a date string by changing line 89 to ...
th = text(xv,yv,[' (' datestr(xv) ',' num2str(yv) ')']);

When you click on a feature it will tell you when it happened as a date and time rather than a cryptic matlab date number. One area where Excel seems to be better than Matlab (until now!).

19 Jan 2012 dualcursor Add dual vertical cursors to a plot. Author: Scott Hirsch Preston

Would it be possible to expand callback functionality so that I could call it within a GUI whenever a cursor was moved?
29 Dec 2011 dualcursor Add dual vertical cursors to a plot. Author: Scott Hirsch Francis

Another vote for horizontal cursors.
