Graphics

Parenting

By default, all statements that create graphics objects do so in the current figure and the current axes (if the object is an axes child). However, you can specify the parent of an object when you create it. For example, the statement,

• axes('Parent',figure_handle,...)
  

creates an axes in the figure identified by figure_handle. You can also move an object from one parent to another by redefining its Parent property.

• set(gca,'Parent',figure_handle)
