UNIX: File Dialog 'Location' Property Is Obsolete
For UNIX platforms, the Location property of uigetfile and uiputfile is obsolete.
Previously, for UNIX platforms only, you could use the Location property to specify the
screen location at which the dialog box would originally be displayed.
Compatibility Considerations
Since the UNIX uigetfile and uiputfile Location property is now obsolete,
MATLAB ignores any occurrences in existing code of the Location property
uigetfile(...,'Location',[X Y])
or the older use of X and Y arguments to specify location
uigetfile(...,X,Y)
A warning is displayed for either syntax, on all platforms.
Functions Becoming Obsolete
The following functions are either obsolete or grandfathered in MATLAB 7.4 (R2007a):
cshelp, figflag, getstatus, menulabel, popupstr,setstatus, hidegui,
uigettoolbar.
Compatibility Considerations
The functions shown in the following table will continue to work but their use may
generate a warning message. As soon as possible, replace any occurrences you may have
of these functions with the function(s) shown in the following table, if any, or with other
suitable code.
Function Replacement
cshelp, figflag,
getstatus,
menulabel,
popupstr,
setstatus
Grandfathered. There are no replacements. No enhancements
will be made and only critical bugs will be fixed. No warnings
will be displayed. These functions may become obsolete if
replacements become available.
