Answer 1

You may find the following article relevant.

Unfortunately, it appears that after many years of service, MathWorks has decided to finally remove this feature. I find this most regrettable because it is a fantastic feature.

Answer 2

You can set the Callback property of the button to 'doc(''plot'')'. This command will be executed when the button is pressed.

You can set the callback with the property editor in GUIDE. If you want to do it programmatically, you can generate the help button like this:

fh = figure
uicontrol('style','pushbutton','string','help','callback','doc(''plot'')','parent',fh)

Answer 3

You can use eval. For example,

• eval('help plot') will show help on the help command in the command window.

• eval('doc plot') will open a document help file for the plot command.
