clf - clear or reset the current graphic figure (window) to default values

Calling Sequence

clf(<opt_job_arg>)

clf(h,<opt_job_arg>)

clf(num,<opt_job_arg>)

Parameters

• h : a handle, the figure handle
• num : a number, the figure_id
• <opt_job_arg> : a string ( 'clear' or 'reset' ) specifying the job for clf .

Description

If opt_job_arg string value is 'clear' then all children of the specified figure are deleted.

If opt_job_arg string value is 'reset' then not only all children of the specified figure are deleted but the figure properties are reset to their default values using the default figure model (see gdf ).

clf(num) clear or reset and clear the figure with figure_id==num . Try not to specify an inexistant figure.

clf(h) clear or reset and clear the figure pointed to by the handle h . Try not to specify an inexistant figure.

clf() clear or reset and clear the current existing figure.

Examples

   f4=scf(4);  //creates figure with id==4 and make it the current one
   f4.color_map = jetcolormap(64);
   f4.figure_size = [400, 200];
   plot2d()
   clf(f4,'reset')
   f0=scf(0); //creates figure with id==0 and make it the current one
   f0.color_map=hotcolormap(128);
   plot3d1();
   clf() // equivalent to clf(gcf(),'clear')
   plot3d1();  // color_map unchanged
   clf(gcf(),'reset')
   plot3d1();  // color_map changed (back to the default one with 32 colors)
