MATLAB: Am I unable to properly resize the plots created with the Control Systems Toolbox 6.0 (R14)

Control System Toolboxgridjavalayoutresizeupdate

I create a plot, as show in the following code:

randn('state',0);rand('state',0);iopzmap(rss(3,3,3))

I then drag the lower right hand corner to resize the plot. Sometimes MATLAB will ignore the resize, and other times it will partially resize the figure.

This bug has been fixed for Release 14 SP1 (R14SP1). For previous releases, please read below for any possible workarounds:

This has been verified as a bug in MATLAB 7.0 (R14) in the way that the Java dynamic layout handles showing window contents while dragging.

Currently, to workaround this issue, you should deactivate the "Show Window Contents while Dragging" property. This can be done by "Display Properties" -> "Appearance" -> "Effects" -> "Show windows contents while dragging" button

MATLAB: Are the phase and magnitude labels switched when I print a bode plot from the LTI Viewer in the Control System Toolbox 6.1 (R14SP1)

This bug has been fixed in Release 14 Service Pack 2 (R14SP2). For previous releases, please read below for any possible workarounds:

We have verified that there is a bug in the Control Systems Toolbox 6.1 (R14SP1) in the way that Bode plots are printed from the LTI Viewer.

To work around this issue, try using the following code:

set(0,'showHiddenHandles','on');

Then select the LTI Viewer to make it the current figure and enter the following command to send the window to the printer:

MATLAB: Are the number calls to the ResizeFcn different based on window edge selection in MATLAB 7.8 (R2009a)

This is due to be a setting at the operating system level that determines this behavior of the ResizeFcn. The ResizeFcn behaves as expected.

On WinXP, there is a setting under the Display Properties --> Appearance tab --> Effects. In the Effects dialog, there is a checkbox called "Show window contents while dragging". This behavior can be seen on a Windows XP system if the checkbox is checked. When the checkbox is UNchecked (and MATLAB is restarted) this behavior will change to the one expected.

The corresponding setting is on a Windows Vista system would be under the path:

 Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Personalization

Else, if you Right click on the desktop ---> goto "Personalize" ---> "Window Color and Appearance" --> Effects button.

For Windows 7, please take the following steps:

1) Press [Windows Key]+R

2) Type "systempropertiesadvanced"

3) Click "OK"

4) Under "Performance", click "Settings"

5) Uncheck "Show window contents while dragging"

6) Click "OK"
