findobj
2-836
If a match occurs, findobj returns the object’s handle. See the regexp function
for information on how MATLAB uses regular expressions.
h = findobj(objhandles,...) restricts the search to objects listed in
objhandles and their descendants.
h = findobj(objhandles,'-depth',d,...) specified the depth of the search.
The depth argument d controls how many levels under the handles in
objhandles are traversed. Specifying d as inf to get the default behavior of all
levels. Specify d as 0 to get the same behavior as using the flat argument.
h = findobj(objhandles,'flat','PropertyName',PropertyValue,...)
restricts the search to those objects listed in objhandles and does not search
descendants.
Remarks findobj returns an error if a handle refers to a nonexistent graphics object.
findobj correctly matches any legal property value. For example,
findobj('Color','r')
finds all objects having a Color property set to red, r, or [1 0 0].
When a graphics object is a descendant of more than one object identified in
objhandles, MATLAB searches the object each time findobj encounters its
handle. Therefore, implicit references to a graphics object can result in its
handle being returned multiple times.
Examples Find all line objects in the current axes:
h = findobj(gca,'Type','line')
Find all objects having a Label set to 'foo' and a String set to 'bar':
h = findobj('Label','foo','-and','String','bar');
Find all objects whose String is not 'foo' and is not 'bar':
h = findobj('-not','String','foo','-not','String','bar');
Find all objects having a String set to 'foo' and a Tag set to 'button one' and
whose Color is not 'red' or 'blue':
h = findobj('String','foo','-and','Tag','button one',...
