Generate Matlab plot in 2014b using 2014a graphics suite

Question

Due to a recent update to 2014b we have seen some detrimental effects to some very custom designed graphs, they are virtually unreadable now and it is of the belief that the new 2014b suite has caused this.

Is there any way to plot using the old 2014a engine? This is only a temporary fix, but at the moment time cannot be dedicated to redesigning the script.

If there was some function like:

gca 2014a

That associated the current handle with the old engine this would save lives here. Does anyone have any tips?

Answer 1

A couple of things to get you started:

You can get back to the old colormap by changing it to jet.

You can convert back to numeric handles by converting it to a double (note I have never user this feature in practice):

hFig = double(hFig);
