MATLAB: Is there an “ibeam” option for the “Pointer” property of a figure in MATLAB 7.0.1 (R14SP1)

Question

The documentation for "Specifying the Figure Pointer", which is opened by executing the following command at the MATLAB command prompt:

web([docroot,'/techdoc/creating_plots/figure11.html'])

does not list "ibeam" as one of the options for the "Pointer" property.

However, the documentation page which is opened by executing the following command at the MATLAB command prompt:

web([docroot,'/techdoc/ref/figure_props.html#Pointer'])

does list "ibeam" as one of the options for the "Pointer" property.

Answer 1

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

This is an error within the documentation for MATLAB 7.0.1 (R14SP1) within the "Specifying the Figure Pointer" section. The documentation should include "ibeam" as one of the possible specifiers in the table.
