Figure Properties - SERC

help classname.methodname displays help for the method, methodname, of the
fully qualified class, classname. If you do not know the fully qualified class for
the method, use class(obj), where methodname is of the same class as the
object obj.
help classname displays help for the fully qualified class, classname.
help syntax displays M-file help describing the syntax used in MATLAB
commands and functions.
t = help('topic') returns the help text for topic as a string, with each line
separated by /n, where topic is any allowable argument for help.
Note M-file help displayed in the Command Window uses all uppercase
characters for the function and variable names to make them stand out from
the rest of the text. When typing function names, however, use lowercase
characters. Some functions for interfacing to Java do use mixed case; the
M-file help accurately reflects that and you should use mixed case when
typing them. For example, the javaObject function uses mixed case.
Remarks To prevent long descriptions from scrolling off the screen before you have time
to read them, enter more on, and then enter the help statement.
Creating Online Help for Your Own M-Files
The MATLAB help system, like MATLAB itself, is highly extensible. You can
write help descriptions for your own M-files and toolboxes using the same
self-documenting method that MATLAB M-files and toolboxes use.
The help function lists all help topics by displaying the first line (the H1 line)
of the contents files in each directory on the MATLAB search path. The
contents files are the M-files named Contents.m within each directory.
Typing help topic, where topic is a directory name, displays the comment
lines in the Contents.m file located in that directory. If a contents file does not
exist, help displays the H1 lines of all the files in the directory.
Typing help topic, where topic is a function name, displays help for the
function by listing the first contiguous comment lines in the M-file topic.m.
