MATLAB C/C++ Graphics Library

Changes to Figure Window Menu Bar Options

Stand-alone graphics applications use a special version of the Figure window menu bar that contains only the File menu option. The graphics library excludes the other standard menu bar items, such as Edit, Tools, and Help, from the menu bar because stand-alone graphics applications cannot support many of the options available through these menus.

To illustrate these differences, compare Figure 2-2, which shows the Lorenz application running as an M-file on a PC, with Figure 2-3, which shows the Lorenz application running as a stand-alone application.
