MATLAB: How to reorder the visual stacking order of objects in MATLAB 7.7 (R2008b)

MATLABobjectsreorderuistack

I am trying to change the order of objects in the handle graphics hierarchy. I cannot find a function which does this.

To change the visual stacking order of objects in a figure, use the UISTACK function. You can move the objects up or down in the hierarchy.

h=get(gca,'Children');
uistack(h(2),'up',1);

The above code moves the second object one place up in the hierarchy.

It is possible to modify the stacking order of an object's children by setting the Children property to a permutation of itself. However, the new value must contain the same handles as the old value. For example:

%Create a patch and a line plot with the line plot overlaying the patch
h=patch([0 1 0 1], [0 1 1 0], 'r');
x=.5*ones(10,1);
y=linspace(0,1, 10);
hold on
hp=plot(x,y);
%Returns handles to the patch and line objects
chi=get(gca, 'Children')
%Reverse the stacking order so that the patch overlays the line
set(gca, 'Children',flipud(chi))

A similar concept applies to the tabbing order of the UICONTROLS. For more information and an example of changing the tabbing order, see the Related Solution:

MATLAB: How does griddata handle NaN values in MATLAB 7.7 (R2008b)

MATLAB doesn't perform any special-case treatment for the NaN data value.

As you may know, griddata performs a Delaunay triangulation of your (x,y) data points. When you query the interpolant at some (xi, yi) location, griddata searches

for the triangle Ti enclosing the point (xi, yi). It then interpolates the result based on the values at the vertices of Ti. If one of those vertices has a NaN value, then the NaN will dominate the computation and the interpolated value you get back will be NaN.
