I attached a simple patch that fixes the issue (in comment #13) for me.

(file #34996)

It seems that the interaction between toolbar and uicontrol is even stranger.  If I simpply amend the code in comment #13 to turn off and then back on the toolbar then it displays correctly.


F = figure('toolbar','figure');
uicontrol(F,'Style','Pushbutton','String','OK');
set (F, 'toolbar', 'none');
set (F, 'toolbar', 'figure');


This suggests an easy workaround which is to switch the 'toolbar' property to 'figure' after the creation of the uicontrol object.  This also works for me.


F = figure;
uicontrol(F,'Style','Pushbutton','String','OK');
set (F, 'toolbar', 'figure');

@Panxto: thanks, I hadn't realized MATLAB was doing the same - odd.

So the remaining issue is that the toolbar disappears even if the figure's 'toolbar' property is set to 'figure':


F = figure('toolbar','figure');
uicontrol(F,'Style','Pushbutton','String','OK');

@Avinoam: Thanks, I had just noticed. This is the kind of thing I can get stuck with for loooooooooong time.

Yes, this is intended for compatibility with ML [1], but I can't find a sensible reason for that.

Just noticed something related...

If you create a figure, it will have a status bar but as soon as you add a uicontrol in it, it removes the status bar (and resize the window):


>> F = figure
>> uicontrol(F,'Style','Pushbutton','String','OK')


Is it the expected behavior?

@Panxto: I'm getting e-mail notifications.

I changed the patch to update the top and bottom corners separately.  I pushed it here http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/b6ae0ef9327e.

Closing report.

@Rik: the way you adjust the size of the window is not correct (see [1]). The presence of the statusbar should affect the bottom right corner (dy2) while the statusbar should affect the top left corner(dy1). This is important I think in order to have the central canvas position unaffected when hiding/displaying the statusbar and toolbar ("position" property).

Thanks Rik, I tried your patch and it works as expected for my purpose.

Attached is a quick patch that hides all the "toolbar" objects when the figure property for toolbar is set to "none".  This is Matlab compatible in that Matlab users will expect all the window decorations to be removed when they set the toolbar to "none".

@Pantxo: Can you take a look at it?

@Rik: I think this may be true in octave 4.0 but it has been fixed in stable. For me the following works fine to display/hide the toolbar:


plot (1:10)
set (gcf, "toolbar", "none") % hide the toolbar
set (gcf, "toolbar", "auto") % show it again


We could eventually add a "statusbar" property that works essentially as the "toolbar" property.

On the other hand I'd also like to implement something more useful like a "statusbarfcn" that could be used to display mouse coordinates but also any useful info like impixelinfo (see http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/Re-impixelinfo-tc4672469.html)

Actually, the "toolbar" property is working in Qt but is only removing the top toolbar, and not the bottom display area.

What would be even better is to implement true control over the toolbar.  The figure object has two properties, "menubar" and "toolbar".  In Matlab, you can set one or both of these properties to "none" to remove the object.  In Octave, only the menubar can be made to disappear.

Tue 22 Sep 2015 01:32:45 PM UTC, original submission:  

In changeset 062422f2e399 (discussed in #44959) was added the creation of a status bar in all Qt figures to display current coordinates. Not all figures contain axes and even if so, native coordinates are not necessarily useful or making sense.

Would it be possible to make this feature optional and disabled by default?
