Figure Properties - SERC

Figure Properties
This property affects only built-in menus. Menus defined with the uimenu
command are not affected by this property.
MinColormap scalar (default = 64)
Minimum number of color table entries used. This property specifies the
minimum number of system color table entries used by MATLAB to store the
colormap defined for the figure (see the ColorMap property). In certain
situations, you may need to increase this value to ensure proper use of colors.
For example, suppose you are running color-intensive applications in addition
to MATLAB and have defined a large figure colormap (e.g., 150 to 200 colors).
MATLAB may select colors that are close but not exact from the existing colors
in the system color table because there are not enough slots available to define
all the colors you specified.
To ensure that MATLAB uses exactly the colors you define in the figure
colormap, set MinColorMap equal to the length of the colormap.
set(gcf,'MinColormap',length(get(gcf,'ColorMap')))
Note that the larger the value of MinColorMap, the greater the likelihood that
other windows (including other MATLAB figure windows) will be displayed in
false colors.
Name string
Figure window title. This property specifies the title displayed in the figure
window. By default, Name is empty and the figure title is displayed as
Figure 1, Figure 2, and so on. When you set this parameter to a string, the
figure title becomes Figure 1: . See the NumberTitle property.
NextPlot {add} | replace | replacechildren
How to add next plot. NextPlot determines which figure MATLAB uses to
display graphics output. If the value of the current figure is
add — Use the current figure to display graphics (the default).
replace — Reset all figure properties except Position to their defaults and
delete all figure children before displaying graphics (equivalent to clf
reset).
replacechildren — Remove all child objects, but do not reset figure
properties (equivalent to clf).
