Description
h = gca
returns the handle to the current axes for the current figure. If no axes exists, MATLAB creates one and returns its handle. You can use the statement
if you do not want MATLAB to create an axes if one does not already exist.
Current Axes
The current axes is the target for graphics output when you create axes children. The current axes is typically the last axes used for plotting or the last axes clicked on by the mouse. Graphics commands such as plot
, text
, and surf
draw their results in the current axes. Changing the current figure also changes the current axes.
