Graphics Upgrade Issues

The issues involved in upgrading from MATLAB 6.5 to MATLAB 7.0, in terms of graphics features, are discussed in this section.

Plotting Tools Not Working on Macintosh

The plotting tools not supported on the Macintosh platform. This means the Figure Palette, Plot Browser, and Property Editor do not work these platforms. To use the MATLAB 6 Property Editor, see the propedit command.

Backward Compatible Fig-Files

To save figures in a Fig-File that is compatible with versions of MATLAB before Version 7, follow these two steps.

• Ensure that any plotting functions used to create the contents of the figure are called with the 'v6' argument, where applicable.
• Use the '-v6' option with the hgsave command.

See Plot Objects and Backward Compatibility for more information.

Figure Window Menu Changes

The Window menu on MATLAB figures no longer lists open Simulink models. However, the Desktop Window menu continues to show open Simulink models.
