Interactively editing plots with matlab 2020

Wha happened to the plot editor? How do i interactively change axes, plot colors and annotate plots for publishing? Seems to have changed in 2019 or so? Now just plot properties inspector. Can you point me to documentation or tutorial on what has changed for editing plots.

thanks

Hi,

You can refer the Release notes of “Graphics” here .

Release Notes helps you to know the updates of each release including the Functionality changes.

To know the functionality changes, Refer the section “Functionality being removed or changed” of respective release (in above mentioned link).

These interactive graphics changes for 2020a are straight up garbage! Matlab took something that worked in pervious versions and broke it.

Changing axis limits should be one click. Navigating the Property Inspector and hitting a drop down menu is super frustrating!!!

I'm definately going back to 2019. These small frustrations really push me towards getting better at Python.

I need to agree with Robin on this. This is a very big change in functionalilty, and the documentation provided in the release notes is not very helpful. When changing functionality, like the figure editor which worked so well before, there should be more rational provided, and suggestions for how to most efficiently use the new interface.

Right now, I am also at a complete loss as to how to modify figures in MATLAB quickly and efficiently as I used to with the interactive figures. Any additional resources would be much appreciated.

I completely agree with the previous commenters. I do not have any clue what logic is behind these changes. Property Inspector is something I need rarely in comparison to Propery Editor which I need almost everytlime when a plot properties are not set in a script.

Absolutely agree with Jiri, Heather and Robin. The new figure editor is terrible to work with. This occasionally happens when you have a perfect product and try to offer a better one :)...what was the problem with the previous version?
