MATLAB: How to prevent figures from being generated without individually turning off Visibility

disablefiguresMATLAB

Is there a way to disable figures from being generated when calling commands that generate one, such as 'plot' or 'bar'? I have a script that generates many figures and I do not want to set each one's 'Visibility' to 'off'.

Set the 'DefaultFigureVisible' property to 'off'. This will ensure that figures do not get rendered.

>> set(0,'DefaultFigureVisible','off');

To have figures generated again, set this property to 'on'.

MATLAB: How to remove automatic selection/highlighting of the figure/axes when I use the PLOTEDIT function

You can set the "SelectionHighlight" property of the figure or axes to "off" in order to hide the selection highlighting. Here is an example:

figure
surf(peaks) 
set(gcf,'SelectionHighlight','off')
set(gca,'SelectionHighlight','off')
plotedit

If you would like, you can further switch the default selection highlighting properties to "off" for figures and/or axes:

set(0,'DefaultFigureSelectionHighlight','off')
set(0,'DefaultAxesSelectionHighlight','off')

To have this persist between MATLAB sessions, you can place this in a "startup.m" file. Please refer to the following link for more information about using a "startup.m" file:

MATLAB: How to set “Start simulation from steady state” in Solver Configuration block from Simscape programmatically

The block property which needs to be set is 'DoDC'. If the Solver Configuration block is the current block, it works like the following to enable it:

>> set_param(gcb,'DoDC','on')

To disable it, use:

>> set_param(gcb,'DoDC','off')
