clf
clear or reset the current graphic figure (window) to default values
Calling Sequence
clf(<opt_job_arg>) clf(h,<opt_job_arg>) clf(num,<opt_job_arg>)
Arguments
- h
a handle, the figure handle
- num
a number, the figure_id
- <opt_job_arg>
a string (
'clear'
or'reset'
) specifying the job forclf
.
Description
The clf
command is used to reset a figure to its default
values and/or to delete all its children.
If opt_job_arg
string value is 'clear'
then
all children of the specified figure are deleted.
If opt_job_arg
string value is 'reset'
then
not only all children of the specified figure are deleted but the figure
properties are reset to their default values using the default figure
model (see gdf). The only exception are the axes_size
and figure_size
properties which can not be reset if the figure
is docked with other elements.
clf(num)
clear or reset the figure with
figure_id==num
.
clf(h)
clear or reset the figure pointed to by
the handle h
.
clf()
clear or reset the current figure.
clf
function delete every children of specified windows including
menus and uicontrols added by user.
To prevent menus and uicontrols from being deleted, the delete(gca())
command
might be used instead.
Examples
f4=scf(4); //creates figure with id==4 and make it the current one f4.color_map = jetcolormap(64); f4.figure_size = [400, 200]; plot2d() clf(f4,'reset') f0=scf(0); //creates figure with id==0 and make it the current one f0.color_map=hotcolormap(128); // change color map t=-%pi:0.3:%pi; plot3d1(t,t,sin(t)'*cos(t)); clf() // equivalent to clf(gcf(),'clear') plot3d1(t,t,sin(t)'*cos(t)); // color_map unchanged clf(gcf(),'reset') plot3d1(t,t,sin(t)'*cos(t)); // color_map changed (back to the default one with 32 colors)
