Some properties are common to all graphics objects, as illustrated in the following table.

Property
Description

BeingDeleted
Has a value of on when object's DeleteFcn has been called

BusyAction
Controls the way MATLAB handles callback routine interruption defined for the particular object

ButtonDownFcn
Callback routine that executes when button press occurs

Children
Handles of all this object's child objects

Clipping
Mode that enables or disables clipping (meaningful only for axes children)

CreateFcn
Callback routine that executes when this type of object is created

DeleteFcn
Callback routine that executes when you issue a command that destroys the object

HandleVisibility
Allows you to control the availability of the object's handle from the command line and from within callback routines

HitTest
Determines if object can become the current object when selected by a mouse click

Interruptible
Determines whether a callback routine can be interrupted by a subsequently invoked callback routine

Parent
The object's parent

Selected
Indicates whether object is selected

SelectionHighlight
Specifies whether object visually indicates the selection state

Tag
User-specified object label

Type
The type of object (figure, line, text, etc.)

UserData
Any data you want to associate with the object

Visible
Determines whether or not the object is visible
