    <p>I see two ways to solve this: The first way is to add some jitter to the x/y coordinates of the plot features. This has the advantage that you can easily modify a plot, but you have to draw the axes yourself if you want to have them xkcdyfied (see <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/12711092/232610">@Rody Oldenhuis' solution</a>). The second way is to create a non-jittery plot, and use <code>imtransform</code> to apply a random distortion to the image. This has the advantage that you can use it with any plot, but you will end up with an image, not an editable plot.</p> <p>I'll show #2 first, and my attempt at #1 below (if you like #1 better, look at <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/12711092/232610">Rody's solution</a>!).</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/s6hts.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>This solution relies on two key functions: <a href="http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/23629" rel="noreferrer">EXPORT_FIG</a> from the file exchange to get an anti-aliased screenshot, and <a href="http://www.mathworks.com/help/images/ref/imtransform.html" rel="noreferrer">IMTRANSFORM</a> to get a transformation.</p> <pre><code>%# define plot data x = 1:0.1:10; y1 = sin(x).*exp(-x/3) + 3; y2 = 3*exp(-(x-7).^2/2) + 1; %# plot fh = figure('color','w'); hold on plot(x,y1,'b','lineWidth',3); plot(x,y2,'w','lineWidth',7); plot(x,y2,'r','lineWidth',3); xlim([0.95 10]) ylim([0 5]) set(gca,'fontName','Comic Sans MS','fontSize',18,'lineWidth',3,'box','off') %# add an annotation annotation(fh,'textarrow',[0.4 0.55],[0.8 0.65],...

    3. CO@Jonas good job! I think your #2 got the right feel for the wiggles, among all solutions so far. However, it still misses the big wiggly ticks, a frame around the text, and hand drawn curved lines to point from the text to a line...

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
