MATLAB Object-Oriented Programming

Property Attributes

Attribute Name Class Description

AbortSet logical

default = false

If true, MATLAB does not set the

property value if the new value is the

same as the current value. MATLAB does

not call the property set method, if one

exists.

For handle classes, setting AbortSet to

true also prevent the triggering of

property PreSet and PostSet events.

See “Assignment When Property Value Is

Unchanged” on page 11-44

Abstract logical

default = false

If true, the property has no

implementation, but a concrete subclass

must redefine this property without

Abstract being set to true.

• Abstract properties cannot define set
  or get access methods. See “Property
  Access Methods” on page 8-50.


• Abstract properties cannot define
  initial values. See “Assigning a Default
  Value” on page 8-6.


• All subclasses must specify the same
  values as the superclass for the
  property SetAccess and GetAccess
  attributes.


• Abstract=true use with the class
  attribute Sealed=false (the default).
