MATLAB: How to redraw contourf after changing scale

redraw contourf

I used contourf. after changing the scales like colorbar min/max/interval, contour line interval etc, how to redraw the contour quickly? I found some contour in previous plot still exist so cause overlapping. Do I have to delete the contourf first? Thanks

If you are just changing the properties of the contour object returned by contourf() then the graphics will update by themselves the next time the event queue is flushed.

If you already have the handle of a contour object returned by contourf(), and you want to change x, y, z data, and the other properties are going to remain the same, then you can update the XData, YData, or ZData properties of the contour object. The graphic will update by itself the next time the event queue is flushed.

MATLAB: Apply same patch object on multiple subplots

copyobj() the patch object into the axes of the subplot.

Note: if you try to set the Parent property of the patch to be the subplot, then it will move to that subplot rather than being duplicated. Any given object can only have one Parent, but you can use copyobj() to clone to place elsewhere.

MATLAB: How to get the title and label objects for an axes in MATLAB R2014b

Starting in MATLAB R2014b, the text objects used for graph titles and axis labels are no longer children of the axes. Instead, use the Title, XLabel, YLabel, and ZLabel properties of the axes to get the associated text objects.

For example, get the text objects used for the title and x-axis label.

ax = gca;
t = ax.Title;
xl = ax.XLabel;
