Graphics Object Identification

Finding, copying, and deleting graphics objects

Functions

`gca`	Current axes or chart
`gcf`	Current figure handle
`gcbf`	Handle of figure containing object whose callback is executing
`gcbo`	Handle of object whose callback is executing
`gco`	Handle of current object
`groot`	Graphics root object

`ancestor`	Ancestor of graphics object
`allchild`	Find all children of specified objects
`findall`	Find all graphics objects
`findobj`	Find graphics objects with specific properties
`findfigs`	Find visible offscreen figures

`gobjects`	Initialize array for graphics objects
`isgraphics`	True for valid graphics object handles
`ishandle`	Test for valid graphics or Java object handle

`copyobj`	Copy graphics objects and their descendants
`delete`	Delete files or objects

The findobj function can scan the object hierarchy to obtain the handles of objects that have specific property values.

Copy objects from one parent to another using the copyobj function.

Remove graphics objects with the delete function.

MATLAB^® provides functions that return important object handles so that you can obtain these handles whenever you require them.
