MATLAB: Do I receive error when using MATLAB 7.1.0 (R14SP3) with Hummingbird Exceed

MATLAB

I am running Hummingbird Exceed with MATLAB 7.1.0 (R14SP3).

When I type

edit filename.m

at the MATLAB command prompt, I receive the following error:

 XTEST extension not installed on this X server: Success

Best Answer

To work around this issue, activate the XTEST extension protocol in Exceed with the following steps:

Exceed->XConfig->Protocol->Extensions->Enable Extensions->Select XTEST(X11R6).

These steps may vary slightly depending on the version of Exceed that is being used.

MATLAB: Do I get the error message : “??? Index exceeds matrix dimensions” when trying to change directories

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

We have verified that there is a bug in MATLAB 7.0.1 (R14SP1) in the way that directories are changed when there is a variable defined in the workspace with the name 'cd'.

To work around this issue, rename the 'cd' variable and then clear it from the workspace using the following commands:

cd1 = cd;
clear cd;

You can now access the data that was in the 'cd' variable using 'cd1' and you can successfully change directories.

To avoid this error in the future, use variable names that are not same as function names.

MATLAB: Does the LEGEND get relocated when zooming into a plot in MATLAB 7.1.0 (R14SP3)

This is an intended change in the behavior of the LEGEND in MATLAB 7.1.0 (R14SP3) incorporated to allow LEGEND to follow the plot box. However, you can explicitly set the 'Location' property of the LEGEND in order not to relocate from its original position as follows:

sphere;
h = legend('sphere');
set(h,'Location','none');

You can also interactively set the 'Location' property of the LEGEND to 'NONE' using the property inspector. Perform the following steps:

1. From the 'View' menu of the figure toolbar, select 'Property Editor '

2. Highlight the LEGEND and select 'Inspector' from its 'Property Editor'

3. Set the 'Location' property to 'none'
