MATLAB Function Reference (Volume 2: Graphics)

Axes PropertiesYou can set the Root ShowHiddenHandles property to on to make all handlesvisible, regardless of their HandleVisibility settings (this does not affect thevalues of the HandleVisibility properties).Handles that are hidden are still valid. If you know an object’s handle, you canset and get its properties, and pass it to any function that operates on handles.HitTest{on} | offSelectable by mouse click. HitTest determines if the axes can become thecurrent object (as returned by the gco command and the figure CurrentObjectproperty) as a result of a mouse click on the axes. If HiTest is off, clicking onthe axes selects the object below it (which is usually the figure containing it).Interruptible{on} | offCallback routine interruption mode. The Interruptible property controlswhether an axes callback routine can be interrupted by subsequently invokedcallback routines. Only callback routines defined for the ButtonDownFcn areaffected by the Interruptible property. MATLAB checks for events that caninterrupt a callback routine only when it encounters a drawnow, figure,getframe, or pause command in the routine. See the BusyAction property forrelated information.Setting Interruptible to on allows any graphics object’s callback routine tointerrupt callback routines originating from an axes property. Note thatMATLAB does not save the state of variables or the display (e.g., the handlereturned by the gca or gcf command) when an interruption occurs.Layer{bottom} | topDraw axis lines below or above graphics objects. This property determines ifaxis lines and tick marks draw on top or below axes children objects for any 2-Dview (i.e., when you are looking along the x-, y-, or z-axis). This is useful forplacing grid lines and tick marks on top of images.LineStyleOrderLineSpecOrder of line styles and markers used in a plot. This property specifies whichline styles and markers to use and in what order when creating multiple-lineplots. For example,set(gca,'LineStyleOrder', '−*|:|o')2-26
