• Axes — Provide a frame of reference and scaling for the plotted lineseries.
• Text — Label the axes tick marks a nd are u sed for titles and annotations.
• Figures — Are the windows that contain axes toolbars, menus, etc.
Different t ypes of g raphs use d iffe rent objects to represent data; how ever, all
data objects are contained in axes and all objects (except root) are contained
in figures.
The root is an abstract object that primarily stores information about your
computer or MATLAB state. You cannot create an instance of the root object.
For More Inform ation See “Handle Graphics Objects” in the MATLAB
Graphics documentation for details a bout graphics objects.
User interface objects are used to create g rap hical use r interfaces (GUIs).
These objects include components like p ush buttons, editable text boxes, and
list boxes.
For More Information See Chapter 6, “Creating Graphical User Interfaces”
for details about user interface objects.
Creating Objects
Plotting functions (like plot and surf) call the appropriate low-level function
to draw their respective graph. For information about an object’s properties,
you can use the Handle Graphics Property Browser in the MATLAB online
Graphics documentation.
