figure

Create or activate a chart sheet (figure window).

Syntax

h = figure
h = figure(nFigID)
h = figure(nFigID, name, value, ...)

Description

Creates a new chart sheet (or activates an existing one with id nFigID) and returns a handle. Subsequent plotting commands target the active figure. Trailing name-value pairs set figure properties.

Examples

figure                  % new figure with auto-assigned id
figure(2)               % activate or create figure 2
