figure — create a figure
f = figure(num);
f = figure("PropertyName1", Propertyvalue1, ..., ..., "PropertyNameN", PropertyvalueN);
This routine creates a figure. If an ID is given, the figure corresponding to this ID is created. Otherwise, the window is created with the first free ID, that is the lowest integer not already used by a window.
ID of the window to create. If not specified, the first free ID is used.
character string name of a property to set. One of the property names listed below.
scilab object value to give to the corresponding property.
handle of the newly created window.
[1,3] real vector or string Background color of the figure. A color is specified as Red, Green and Blue values. Those values are real in [0,1]. The color can be given as a real vector, ie [R,G,B] or a string where each value is separated by a "|", ie "R|G|B"
character string, allows to set the title of the figure.
[1,3] real vector or string Foreground color of the figure. A color is specified as Red, Green and Blue values. Those values are real in [0,1]. The color can be given as a real vector, ie [R,G,B] or a string where each value is separated by a "|", ie "R|G|B"
allows to control the geometrical aspect of the figure. It is a [1,4] real vector [x y width height] where the letters stand for the x location of the top left corner, the y location of the top left corner, the width and the height of the virtual graphics window (the part of the figure which contains uicontrols and graphics). See the axes_size property description in figure properties help page. One can also set this property by giving a string where the fields are separated by a "|", ie "x|y|width|height".
string this property is generally used to identify the figure. It allows to give it a "name". Mainly used in conjontion with findobj().
this can be used to associate some Scilab objects to a fugure.
// Create figure having figure_id==3
h=figure(3);
// Add a text uicontrol in figure 3
uicontrol(h, "style", "text", ...
"string", "This is a figure", ...
"position", [50 70 100 100], ...
"fontsize",15);
// Create figure having figure_id==1
figure();
// Add a text uicontrol in figure 1
uicontrol("style", "text", ...
"string", "Another figure", ...
"position", [50 70 100 100], ...
"fontsize", 15);
// Close current figure (ie figure 1)
close();
// close figure 3
close(h);
