Error while running tFigExample.m

Error using axes
Too many output arguments.

Error in tfigure/addPlot (line 430)
ha = axes(h.UserData.hp);%,...'Units','pixels',...

Error in tFigExample (line 18)
h.addPlot('Normal');

This is because this submission now requires a new version of MATLAB. The syntax given below requires a new version.

You can update your MATLAB version or substitute get(hs,'plotList') to get it to work on previous versions.

Can't run the tFigExample or create any tFigure at all....

>> h = tFigExample
Struct contents reference from a non-struct array object.

Error in tfigure/addPanel (line 271)
plotList = hs.plotList;

Error in tfigure/addPlot (line 346)
h = obj.addPanel(p.Results.title);

Error in tFigExample (line 17)
h.addPlot('Normal');

Can't get example to run in 2018a. Any thoughts?

tFigExample
Dot indexing is not supported for variables of this type.

Error in tfigure/addPanel (line 271)
plotList = hs.plotList;

Error in tfigure/addPlot (line 346)
h = obj.addPanel(p.Results.title);

Error in tFigExample (line 17)
h.addPlot('Normal');

Bapt:
Can you update to R2014b or newer? There were updates to the graphics capabilities and other items in that release. I think even if you fix the fact that it can't find that superclass you'll run into other issues with the older release.

Hi Curtis,

do you know what could be causing this error [knowing that MatLab finds the folder and there is no parse error in your function.] :
Error using tfigure
>> tfigure
Error using tfigure
The specified super-class 'matlab.mixin.SetGet' contains a parse error or cannot be found on MATLAB's search path,
possibly shadowed by another file with the same name.

[I have R2011b on linux (openSUSE) with dual monitors.]

19 Jun 2019	4.1.1.3	Fixed Other Requirements entries to remove the URLs
19 Jun 2019	4.1.1.2	Updated Other Requirements to include the URL to GUI Layout Toolbox and added a note about this dependency to the description.
13 Oct 2018	4.1.1.1	Updated Compatibility after testing it out on 2016a. Some features, such as support of uifigure, require even newer versions the core functionality is available in R2016a and newer
4 Oct 2018	4.1.1.0	Minor update to fix some bugs. Started to develop the option to use uifigure instead of figure.
22 Mar 2017	4.1.0.0	Added "addButton" method This method allows a button with a callback to be added to the plot list. Added a demo of the "addButton" method to the example Updated the help documenation.
24 Nov 2016	4.0.0.0	Updated to use the Layout Toolbox Uses the layout toolbox to handle the layout and automatic resizing Added the ability to drag the plot list to adjust its width Added "Add Label" selection to tab context menu Updated entry example picture
21 Sep 2016	3.3.0.0	Added a "+" tab button to add a new tab Updated Documentation Made the method arguements more consistent across similar methods Fixed some bugs Added support for Java style tables
26 Jun 2016	3.2.0.0	Updated the export menu to copy a panel to another figure, copy a panel to the clipboard, and fixed the functionality of the savePPT function. Updated the delete context menu option. Added get current tab (gct) and get current panel (gcp) properties Updated Example
28 Apr 2016	3.1.0.0	Updated Description Changed name Updated the plot container to use uipanels to hold each selection. This enables the use of subplot and simplifies the handling of axes, especially with regard to resizing
20 Apr 2016	2.1.0.0	Added Support for tables and control items. I also fixed the reisizing function to handle single plot tabs and control items. THe export to ppt feature now needs to be updated. The example has been updated to show the new capabilities.
