Examples

// Create a figure
h=figure();
// Put a text in the figure
uicontrol(h, "style","text", ...
             "string","This is a figure", ...
             "position",[50 70 100 100], ...
             "fontsize",15, ...
             "tag","Alabel");
// Find the object which "tag" value is "Alabel"
lab=findobj("tag","Alabel");
disp("The text of the label is """+lab.string+"""");
// Close the figure
close();
