MATLAB Function Reference (Volume 2: Graphics)

Axes PropertiesTypestring (read only)Type of graphics object. This property contains a string that identifies the classof graphics object. For axes objects, Type is always set to 'axes'.UIContextMenuhandle of a uicontextmenu objectAssociate a context menu with the axes. Assign this property the handle of aUicontextmenu object created in the axes’ parent figure. Use theuicontextmenu function to create the context menu. MATLAB displays thecontext menu whenever you right-click over the axes.Units inches | centimeters | {normalized} |points | pixels | charactersPosition units. The units used to interpret the Position property. All units aremeasured from the lower-left corner of the figure window.• normalized units map the lower-left corner of the figure window to (0,0) andthe upper-right corner to (1.0, 1.0).• inches, centimeters, and points are absolute units (one point equals 1 / 72 ofan inch).• Character units are defined by characters from the default system font; thewidth of one character is the width of the letter x, the height of one characteris the distance between the baselines of two lines of text.UserDatamatrixUser specified data. This property can be any data you want to associate withthe axes object. The axes does not use this property, but you can access it usingthe set and get functions.ViewObsoleteThe functionality provided by the View property is now controlled by the axescamera properties – CameraPosition, CameraTarget, CameraUpVector, andCameraViewAngle. See the view command.Visible{on} | offVisibility of axes. By default, axes are visible. Setting this property to offprevents axis lines, tick marks, and labels from being displayed. The visibleproperty does not affect children of axes.2-31
