Command-Line Accessibility
You can restrict access to a GUI figure from the command line or from a code
file with the GUIDE Com mand -line accessibility options.
Unless you explicitly specify a figure handle, many commands, such as
plot,
alter the current figure (the figure specified by the root
CurrentFigure
property and returned b y the gcf command). The current figure is usually
the figure that is most recently created, drawn i nto, or mouse-clicked. You
can programmatically designate a figure
h (where h is its handle) as the
current figure in four ways:
1 set(0,'Curre ntFigure',h) —Makesfigureh current, but does not
change its visibility or stacking with respect to other figures
2 figure(h) —Makesfigureh current, visible, and displayed on top of other
figures
3 axes(h) — Makes existing axes h the current axes and displays the figure
containing it on top of other figures
4 plot(h,...), or any plotting function that takes an axes as its first
argument, also makes existing axes
h the current axes and displays the
figure containing it on top of other figures
The
gcf function returns the handle of the current figure.
h = gcf
For a GUI created in GUIDE, set the Command-line accessibility option
to prevent users from inadvertently changing the appearance or content
of a GUI by executing commands at the command line or from a script or
function, such as
plot. The following table briefly describes the four options
for Comm and-line accessibility.
