MATLAB Object-Oriented Programming

set(H,'PropertyName',PropertyValue)

You can pass a cell array of property names and a cell array of property values to set:

props = {'PropertyName1','PropertyName2'};

vals = {Property1Value,Property2Value};

set(H,props,vals)

If length(H) is greater than one, then the property value cell array (vals) can have

values for each property in each object. For example, suppose length(H) is 2 (two object

handles). You want to assign two property values on each object:

props = {'PropertyName1','PropertyName2'};

vals = {Property11Value,Property12Value;Property21Value,Property22Value};

set(H,props,vals))

The preceding statement is equivalent to the follow two statements:

set(H(1),'PropertyName1',Property11Value,'PropertyName2',Property12Value)

set(H(2),'PropertyName1',Property21Value,'PropertyName2',Property22Value)

If you specify a scalar handle, but no property names, set returns a struct with one

field for each property in the class of H. Each field contains an empty cell array.

SV = set(h);

Class Derived from matlab.mixin.SetGet

This sample class defines a set/get interface and illustrates the behavior of the inherited

methods:

classdef LineType < matlab.mixin.SetGet

properties

Style = '-'

Marker = 'o'

end

properties (SetAccess = protected)

Units = 'points'

end

methods

function obj = LineType(s,m)

if nargin > 0

obj.Style = s;

obj.Marker = m;

end
