What were you trying to do?
A user contacted OLC and was attempting to run the
"colormapeditor" command in matlab. Additionally, the user
was trying to use the Property Editor by selecting a graphics
object with a mouse.
What's wrong:
User sent us this report:
>> 1) When I try to use colormapeditor, I encounter the following behaviour:
>>
>> >> colormapeditor
>> ??? Error using ==> colormapeditor
>> Java 1.3 or greater required.
>>
>> I have the java locker attached, and java its self seems to be
>> functioning fine.
>>
>> 2) When I try to use the Property Editor (by selecting a graphics object
>> with the mouse), I get the following errors on the command line:
>>
>> ??? Error using ==> propedit
>> The Property Editor is not supported on this platform.
>>
>> Error in ==>
>> /mit/matlab_v6.5.1/distrib/toolbox/matlab/graph2d/@scribehgobj/doclick.m
>> On line 42 ==> warnStr=propedit(hList,'-noopen','-noselect');
>>
>> Error in ==>

>> On line 10 ==> MLObj = doclick(MLObj);
>>
>> Error in ==> /mit/matlab_v6.5.1/distrib/toolbox/matlab/graph2d/doclick.m
>> On line 11 ==> doclick(p)
>>
>> None of the graphics-related functions executed via command-line seem to
>> be encountering problems, just the GUI-stuff.

What should have happened:
Colormap editor should have been displayed, as it is on
Linux. Ditto for Property Editor. The user claims it does
not work on Linux, however I was able to get it to work on
two linux machines - one at 9.2.25 and the other at 9.2.29
