Syntax

H = gobjects(n)
H = gobjects(s1,...,sn)
H = gobjects(v)
H = gobjects
H = gobjects(0)

Description

H = gobjects(n) returns an n-by-n graphics object array. Use the gobjects function instead of the ones or zeros functions to preallocate an array to store graphics objects.

example

H = gobjects(s1,...,sn) returns an s1-by-...-by-sn graphics object array, where the list of integers s1,...,sn defines the dimensions of the array. For example, gobjects(2,3) returns a 2-by-3 array.

example

H = gobjects(v) returns a graphics object array where the elements of the row vector, v, define the dimensions of the array. For example, gobjects([2,3,4]) returns a 2-by-3-by-4 array.

H = gobjects returns a 1-by-1 graphics object array.

example

H = gobjects(0) returns an empty graphics object array.

Preallocate a 4-by-1 array to store graphics handles. 

H = gobjects(4,1)
H = 
  4x1 GraphicsPlaceholder array:

  GraphicsPlaceholder
  GraphicsPlaceholder
  GraphicsPlaceholder
  GraphicsPlaceholder
Open Live Script

Create an array to store graphics handles using the size of an existing array.

Define A as a 3-by-4 array. 

A = [1,2,3,2; 4,5,6,6; 7,8,9,7];

Create an array of graphics handles using the size of A. 

v = size(A);
H = gobjects(v);

The dimensions of the graphics handle array are the same as the dimensions of A. 

isequal(size(H),size(A))
ans = logical

Open Live Script

Use the gobjects function to return an empty array. 

H = gobjects(0)
H = 
  0x0 empty GraphicsPlaceholder array.

Input Arguments

collapse all

Size of the object array, specified as an integer value. Negative integers are treated as 0. The array has dimensions n-by-n.

Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64

Size of each array dimension, specified as a list of two or more integer values. Negative integers are treated as 0.

Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64

Size of each array dimension, specified as a row vector of integer values. Negative integers are treated as 0.

Example: [2,4,6,7]

Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64

Define an empty array by specifying one or more dimension equal to 0

Output Arguments
