Description

By Leaf we denote all graphic objects created by plotlib high level commands. They are actually of three possible types : Polyline, Segs, Fac3d or Compound. For the moment, there is only one set of properties, although some are only specific to given objetcs. These emulated properties can be accessed and changed by using set and get.

We give below some examples and peculiarities

CData

h=surf();
c=get(h,'CData');
caxis([0 1]);
for i=1:100
  set(h,'CData',rand(c));
end

FaceColor

This property is classically used to change the shading model of faces and can take the value of a color (string or 3-vector) or a string chose among the values 'none','flat','interp','mean'. This last value does not exist in Matlab and represents the default flat-shading of Scilab, which is an average of vertices color indices.

c=rand(10,10);
pcolor(1:10,1:10,c);
hold on
pcolor(11:20,1:10,c,'FaceColor','mean');
pcolor(21:30,1:10,c,'FaceColor','interp');
hold off
