File Exchange Pick of the Week

Figures Stay on Top

Figure windows are the eyes that you look at your data with. However, if you are iterating on a graph, every time you type a command, MATLAB's desktop comes to the top and your figured gets hidden. We at The MathWorks have tried to solve that by making figured dockable, meaning they become embedded in the desktop like the editor windows are. However, it is always nice to have two ways to do something. This week's pick is a file that was written in C, and then made into a DLL that can be called from MATLAB. This was done with MEX files (MATLAB executable file).
