MATLAB Object-Oriented Programming

List All Properties

Return a struct containing object properties and their current values using get:

h = LineType('--','*');

SV = get(h)

SV =

Style: '--'

Marker: '*'

Units: 'points'

Return a struct containing the properties that have public SetAccess using set:

S = set(h)

S =

Style: {}

Marker: {}

The LineType class defines the Units property with SetAccess = protected.

Therefore, S = set(h) does not create a field for Units in S.

set cannot return possible values for properties that have nonpublic set access.

Using get with Arrays of Handles

Suppose that you create an array of LineType objects:

H = [LineType('..','z'),LineType('--','q')]

H =

1x2 LineType with properties:

Style

Marker

Units

When H is an array of handles, get returns a (length(H)-by-1) cell array of property

values:

CV = get(H,'Style')
