Field Contents
Character The character displayed as a result of the key(s)
pressed.
Modifier This field is a cell array that contains the names of
one or more modifier keys that the user pressed
(i.e., Control, Alt, Shift).
Key The key pressed (lower case label on key)
Some key combinations do not define a value for the Character field.
Using the KeyPressFcn
This example, creates a figure and defines a function handle callback for the
KeyPressFcn property. When the "e" key is pressed, the callback exports the
figure as an EPS file. When Ctrl-t is pressed, the callback exports the figure as
a TIFF file.
function figure_keypress
figure('KeyPressFcn',@printfig);
function printfig(src,evnt)
if evnt.Character == 'e'
print ('-deps',['-f' num2str(src)])
elseif length(evnt.Modifier) == 1 & strcmp(evnt.Modifier{:},
'control') & evnt.Key == 't'
print ('-dtiff','-r200',['-f' num2str(src)])
end
See Function Handle Callbacks for information on how to use function handles
to define the callback function.
MenuBar none | {figure}
Enable-disable figure menu bar. This property enables you to display or hide
the menu bar that MATLAB places at the top of a figure window. The default
(figure) is to display the menu bar.
