set - set a property value of a graphic entity object or of a User Interface object.

Calling Sequence

set(prop,val)

set(h,prop,val)

h.prop=val

set(n,prop,val)

Parameters

• h : a handle, the handle of the entity which to set the named property, h can be a vector of handles, in which case set sets the property's value for all objects identified by h(i).
• n n : an integer, the handle of User Interface object which to set the named property.
• prop : character string name of the property to set.
• val : value to give to the property (see ).

Description

This routine can be used to set a graphics entity specified property. This graphics entity is identified by its handle h.If the handle is not specified, the current object is taken as the default handle. The type of the value to set property depends on the type of the graphics entity.

See graphics_entities for details about properties' names and values for graphics entities.

See uicontrol for details about properties' names and values for User Interface objects.

For graphics entities handle it is possible to use equivalently a dot notation like h.background instead of set.

Examples

   xbasc()
   set("figure_style","new") //create a figure
   set("auto_clear","off") ;
   // Exemple of a Plot 2D
   x=[-.2:0.1:2*%pi]';
   plot2d(x-.3,[sin(x-1) cos(2*x)],[1 2] );
   a=get("current_axes");
   p1=a.children.children(1);
   p2=a.children.children(2);
   // set the named properties to the specified values on the objects
   set(p2,"foreground",13);
   set(p2,"polyline_style",2);
   set(a,'tight_limits',"on");
   set(a,"box","off");
   set(a,"sub_tics",[ 7 0 ]);
   set(a,"y_location","middle")
   set(p2,'thickness',2);
   set(p1,'mark_mode',"on");
   set(p1,'mark_style',3);
   plot2d(x-2,x.^2/20);
   p3= a.children(1).children;
   set([a p1 p2 p3],"foreground",5)
