Edit:
You can open the plot tools with the plottools function. You can probably add this as a custom button, but otherwise the code below should work.
hFig=figure;
plottools(hFig)
%or put this in your startup.m (untested, might need modification)
%make sure add_plottools_button is on your Matlab path
try %#ok
if ~verLessThan('matlab','9.5')
set(groot,'defaultFigureCreateFcn',...
@(fig,~)add_plottools_button(fig));
end
end
function add_plottools_button(fig)
persistent icon
if isempty(icon)
% Read an image
img = imread(fullfile(matlabroot,...
'toolbox','matlab','icons','tool_plottools_show.png'));
icon = double(img)/double(uint16( inf));
end
t = findall(fig,'type','uitoolbar','tag','FigureToolBar');
if isempty(t)
%no toolbar exists, create one
t = uitoolbar('Parent',fig);
end
% Create a uipushtool in the toolbar
uipushtool(t,'TooltipString','Open plot tools',...
'ClickedCallback',...
@(obj,~)plottools(ancestor(obj,'figure')),...
'CData',icon)
end
Original answer:
You probably mean the controls that you can add back to your figure with addToolbarExplorationButtons.
Alternatively, you could add the code below to your startup.m to reverse the change by default.
try %#ok
if ~verLessThan('matlab','9.5')
set(groot,'defaultFigureCreateFcn',...
@(fig,~)addToolbarExplorationButtons(fig));
set(groot,'defaultAxesCreateFcn', ...
@(ax,~)set(ax.Toolbar,'Visible','off'));
end
end
