MATLAB Function Reference (Volume 2: Graphics)

Root Propertiescommand mode to graph mode. This property is only used by the terminalgraphics driver. Consult your terminal manual for the appropriate escapesequence.Typestring (read only)Class of graphics object. For the root object, Type is always 'root'.UIContextMenu handleThis property has no effect on the root level.Units{pixels} | normalized | inches | centimeters| points | charactersUnit of measurement. This property specifies the units MATLAB uses tointerpret size and location data. All units are measured from the lower-leftcorner of the screen. Normalized units map the lower-left corner of the screento (0,0) and the upper right corner to (1.0,1.0). inches, centimeters, and pointsare absolute units (one point equals 1/72 of an inch). Characters are unitsdefined by characters from the default system font; the width of one unit is thewidth of the letter x, the height of one character is the distance between thebaselines of two lines of text.This property affects the PointerLocation and ScreenSize properties. If youchange the value of Units, it is good practice to return it to its default valueafter completing your operation so as not to affect other functions that assumeUnits is set to the default value.UserDatamatrixUser specified data. This property can be any data you want to associate withthe root object. MATLAB does not use this property, but you can access it usingthe set and get functions.Visible{on} | offObject visibility. This property has no effect on the root object.2-422
