gce

Arguments

e

handle, the handle of the current entity.

Description

This routine returns the handle of the last created (and still existent) entity. It should be used as little as possible, as all graphic functions accept an optional output argument giving this handle.

Examples

a=gca() //get the handle of the newly created axes
a.data_bounds=[1,1;10,10];
a.axes_visible = 'on' ;
for i=1:5
  xfrect(7-i,9-i,3,3);
  e=gce();
  e.background=i;
end
delete(); // delete current entity
delete(gce()); // delete current entity
delete(gcf()); // delete current figure
