MATLAB: Access lower level fields in structure

structures

I have a structure that is setup as follows.

foo.check.W = 1

foo.check1.W = 2

foo.check2.W = 3

I would like to quickly grab all the data in foo.(all fields).W and save it to an array that i can plot it. I know i could do:

fnames = fieldnames(foo)

for i =1:length(fnames)

Wdata(i) = foo.(fieldnames(i)).W

end

But would like to know if there's a quick way to access the data without using loops.

Let 's try

sm = table2array(cell2table(struct2cell(foo)));
Wdata = [sm(:).W];

MATLAB: How to store the properties of a figure in MATLAB, then reset them at a later time

The GET function returns properties that are read-only and cannot be set using the SET function.

The best method for storing a figure's properties, then resetting them at a later time, is to use the SAVEAS function to save the figure as a FIG-file.

saveas(gca, 'foo', 'fig');

Then, you can load this figure using the OPEN function:

open('foo.fig');

However, if you would like to store the properties in a variable, you can avoid the read-only properties when resetting the figure. The read-only properties of a figure are specified as:

readonly = {'BeingDeleted','CurrentCharacter','CurrentObject','FixedColors','Type'};

Then, the figure properties can be reset using:

props = rmfield(props, readonly);
fnames = fieldnames(props);
for n = 1:length(fnames)
      set(gcf,fnames{n},props.(fnames{n}))
end
