copyobjPurpose2copyobjCopy graphics objects and their descendantsSyntaxDescriptionnew_handle = copyobj(h,p)copyobj creates copies of graphics objects. The copies are identical to theoriginal objects except the copies have different values for their Parentproperty and a new handle. The new parent must be appropriate for the copiedobject (e.g., you can copy a line object only to another axes object).new_handle = copyobj(h,p) copies one or more graphics objects identified byh and returns the handle of the new object or a vector of handles to new objects.The new graphics objects are children of the graphics objects specified by p.Remarksh and p can be scalars or vectors. When both are vectors, they must be the samelength and the output argument, new_handle, is a vector of the same length.In this case, new_handle(i) is a copy of h(i) with its Parent property set top(i).When h is a scalar and p is a vector, h is copied once to each of the parents in p.Each new_handle(i) is a copy of h with its Parent property set to p(i), andlength(new_handle) equals length(p).When h is a vector and p is a scalar, each new_handle(i) is a copy of h(i) withits Parent property set to p. The length of new_handle equals length(h).Graphics objects are arranged as a hierarchy. Here, each graphics object isshown connected below its appropriate parent object.RootFigureAxesUicontrolUimenuUicontextmenuImageLightLinePatchRectangleSurfaceText2-114
