image graphics object properties.

📄Description

This page documents the visible properties returned by properties for a image graphics object.

Property	Action	Type and supported values
AlphaData	replaces data and recomputes automatic limits that depend on it.	Type: numeric, logical, categorical, string, vector, matrix, or table-derived data. Supported values: [] or data with dimensions compatible with the rendered object.
AlphaDataMapping	replaces data and recomputes automatic limits that depend on it.	Type: numeric, logical, categorical, string, vector, matrix, or table-derived data. Supported values: [] or data with dimensions compatible with the rendered object.
Annotation	updates the annotation metadata used by interactive tools and object inspection.	Type: graphics annotation object or empty handle value. Supported values: an annotation object associated with the graphics item, or an empty graphics handle when no annotation is attached.
BeingDeleted	Nelson computes this value; graphics operations update it.	Type: text scalar or character row vector. Supported values: 'off', 'on'.
BusyAction	controls whether an interrupting callback is queued or canceled.	Type: text scalar or character row vector. Supported values: 'queue', 'cancel'.
ButtonDownFcn	runs when the object receives a mouse-button event.	Type: callback value. Supported values: [], function handle, character vector, string scalar, or callback cell array.
CData	replaces data and recomputes automatic limits that depend on it.	Type: numeric, logical, categorical, string, vector, matrix, or table-derived data. Supported values: [] or data with dimensions compatible with the rendered object.
CDataMapping	replaces data and recomputes automatic limits that depend on it.	Type: numeric, logical, categorical, string, vector, matrix, or table-derived data. Supported values: [] or data with dimensions compatible with the rendered object.
Children	parenting operations update the vector.	Type: graphics object handle vector. Supported values: empty vector or child handles.
Clipping	updates rendered output on the next graphics refresh.	Type: text scalar or character row vector. Supported values: 'on', 'off'.
ContextMenu	attaches the menu used for context-click actions.	Type: graphics object handle scalar. Supported values: [] or a uicontextmenu handle.
CreateFcn	runs when the object is created.	Type: callback value. Supported values: [], function handle, character vector, string scalar, or callback cell array.
DeleteFcn	runs when the object is deleted.	Type: callback value. Supported values: [], function handle, character vector, string scalar, or callback cell array.
HandleVisibility	controls whether handle-search functions can find the object.	Type: text scalar or character row vector. Supported values: 'on', 'off', 'callback'.
HitTest	includes or excludes the object from mouse hit testing.	Type: text scalar or character row vector. Supported values: 'on', 'off'.
Interpolation	changes how colors or samples are interpolated between stored data values.	Type: text keyword. Supported values: 'nearest', 'linear', or 'none'.
Interruptible	controls whether a running callback can be interrupted.	Type: text scalar or character row vector. Supported values: 'on', 'off'.
MaxRenderedResolution	updates the stored object state.	Type: integer scalar or numeric vector. Supported values: finite integer value, finite numeric value, or vector required by the property.
Parent	reparents the object and updates Children on the old and new parents.	Type: graphics object handle scalar. Supported values: a valid parent handle for the object class.
PickableParts	selects which visible or invisible parts can receive mouse hits.	Type: text scalar or character row vector. Supported values: 'visible', 'all', 'none'.
Selected	updates rendered output on the next graphics refresh.	Type: text scalar or character row vector. Supported values: 'on', 'off'.
SelectionHighlight	updates rendered output on the next graphics refresh.	Type: text scalar or character row vector. Supported values: 'on', 'off'.
Tag	updates the stored object state.	Type: text scalar or character row vector. Supported values: empty text or an object identifier.
Type	Nelson computes this value; graphics operations update it.	Type: text scalar or character row vector. Supported values: read-only object type name, for example 'figure', 'axes', 'line', or 'scatter'.
UserData	updates the stored object state.	Type: Nelson array. Supported values: any Nelson value, including [], numeric arrays, text, cells, structures, or handles.
Visible	updates rendered output on the next graphics refresh.	Type: text scalar or character row vector. Supported values: 'on', 'off'.
XData	replaces data and recomputes automatic limits that depend on it.	Type: numeric, logical, categorical, string, vector, matrix, or table-derived data. Supported values: [] or data with dimensions compatible with the rendered object.
YData	replaces data and recomputes automatic limits that depend on it.	Type: numeric, logical, categorical, string, vector, matrix, or table-derived data. Supported values: [] or data with dimensions compatible with the rendered object.

💡Examples

Create the graphics object and list its properties.

f = figure('Visible', 'off');
ax = axes('Parent', f);
h = image('Parent', ax, 'CData', magic(3));
names = properties(h);
close(f)
