findall
Find all graphics objects
Syntax
object_handles = findall(handle_list)
object_handles = findall(handle_list,'property','value',...)
Description
object_handles = findall(handle_list) returns
the handles, including hidden handles, of all objects in the hierarchy
under the objects identified in handle_list.
object_handles = findall(handle_list,'property','value',...) returns
the handles of all objects in the hierarchy under the objects identified
in handle_list that have the specified properties
set to the specified values.
Examples
Find Object with Hidden Handle
Use findall to find the text object for the x-axis label. Unlike findobj, the findall function finds objects even if the HandleVisibility property is set to 'off'.
plot(1:10)
txt = xlabel('My x-axis label');
txt.HandleVisibility
ans = 'off'
a = findall(gcf,'Type','text')
a = 3x1 Text array: Text (My x-axis label) Text Text
d = findobj(gcf,'Type','text')
d = 0x0 empty GraphicsPlaceholder array.
Tips
findall is similar to findobj,
except that it finds objects even if their HandleVisibility is
set to off.
