File Exchange Pick of the Week

October 31st, 2008

clickableLegend

Bob's pick this week is clickableLegend by Ameya Deoras.

His clever wrapper around legend is a great example of customizing MATLAB. Suppose you often plot lots of curves then want to start ignoring those of least interest. Doing this interactively can greatly aid data exploration. The animation here mimics how the plot changes each time the middle legend label is clicked. While you can do something similar with plottools this is a nice alternative.

Wrap code fragments inside <pre> tags, like this:

<pre class="code">
a = magic(3);
sum(a)
</pre>

If you have a "<" character in your code, either follow it with a space or replace it with "&lt;" (including the semicolon).
