I would like to be able to remove buttons such as the "new file" or "new figure" button from the toolbar.

For MATLAB 7.0 (R14) and all subsequent releases, refer to the Related Solution linked at the bottom of the page.

For product releases prior to MATLAB 7.0 (R14):

If you would like to remove the entire figure toolbar (all buttons), execute the following commands to open a new figure window and remove the toolbar:

fig = figure
set(fig,'Toolbar','none')

This removes the entire toolbar and not specific buttons.

MATLAB: How to add or remove the menubar or toolbar from a figure in MATLAB

You can use SET command to change the MenuBar and Toolbar properties of the figure to control whether the menubar and toolbar are shown in a MATLAB figure.

The possible values for Menu Bar are:

 'none'  - the menubar is not shown
 'figure' - the menubar is shown

The possible values for ToolBar are:

 'none' - the toolbar is not shown
 'auto' - the toolbar is controlled by the menubar.  If MenuBar is set to 'figure', then the toolbar is shown.  If 'MenuBar is set to 'none', then the toolbar isn't shown.
 'figure' - the toolbar is shown

For example, the following code will open a figure without the menubar and toolbar:

hFigure = figure;
set(hFigure, 'MenuBar', 'none');
set(hFigure, 'ToolBar', 'none');

MATLAB: Am I unable to zoom out of a figure by right-clicking on the figure window when the “zoom” property is “on” in MATLAB 7.0 (R14)

Starting from MATLAB 7.3 (R2006b), it is possible to use the RIGHTCLICKACTION property of the zoom object to revert to the old behavior of the using the mouse right-click to zoom out of a figure. The following example illustrates this:

surf(peaks)
h = zoom(gcf)
set(h,'rightclickaction','inversezoom')

If you are using a previous version of MATLAB, to work around this issue, hold down the Alt-key when left-clicking on the figure, and the figure will automatically be zoomed out.
