Matplot properties

Description

The Matplot entity is a leaf of the graphics entities hierarchy. It represents 2D plots of surface using colors and images (see Matplot and Matplot1).

parent:

this property contains the handle of the parent. The parent of the Matplot entity should be of the type "Axes".

children:

this property contains a vector with the children of the handle. However, Matplot handles currently do not have any children.

visible:

this field contains the visible property value for the entity. It should be "on" or "off" . By default, the plot is visible, the property's value is "on". If "off" the plot is not drawn on the screen.

data:

this field defines a [mxn] color data matrix using the current colormap. The color associated to color(i,j) is used do draw a small square of length 1 with center at location (x=j,y=(m-i+1)).

clip_state:

this field contains the clip_state property value for the Matplot. It should be :

• "off" this means that the Matplot is not clipped.

• "clipgrf" this means that the Matplot is clipped outside the Axes box.

• "on" this means that the Matplot is clipped outside the rectangle given by property clip_box.

clip_box:

this field is to determinate the clip_box property. By default its value should be an empty matrix if clip_state is "off". Other cases the vector [x,y,w,h] (upper-left point width height) defines the portions of the Matplot to display, however clip_state property value will be changed.

user_data:

this field can be use to store any scilab variable in the Matplot data structure, and to retreive it.

Examples

Matplot((1:xget("lastpattern")))
e=gce(); // get current entity

e.data=e.data($:-1:1) // reverse order
