15.3.3.11 Uibuttongroup Properties

Properties of uibuttongroup objects (see uibuttongroup):

backgroundcolor: def. [0.94000 0.94000 0.94000]

beingdeleted: {"off"} | "on"

bordertype: "beveledin" | "beveledout" | {"etchedin"} | "etchedout" | "line" | "none"

borderwidth: def. 1

busyaction: "cancel" | {"queue"}

Define how Octave handles the execution of this object’s callback properties when it is unable to interrupt another object’s executing callback. This is only relevant when the currently executing callback object has its interruptible property set to "off". The busyaction property of the interrupting callback object indicates whether the interrupting callback is queued ("queue" (default)) or discarded ("cancel"). See Callbacks section.

buttondownfcn: string | function handle, def. [](0x0)

For information on how to write graphics listener functions see Callbacks section.

children (read-only): vector of graphics handles, def. [](0x1)

Graphics handles of the uibuttongroup’s children.

clipping: "off" | {"on"}

If clipping is "on", the uibuttongroup is clipped in its parent axes limits.

createfcn: string | function handle, def. [](0x0)

Callback function executed immediately after uibuttongroup has been created. Function is set by using default property on root object, e.g., set (groot, "defaultuibuttongroupcreatefcn", 'disp ("uibuttongroup created!")').

For information on how to write graphics listener functions see Callbacks section.

deletefcn: string | function handle, def. [](0x0)

Callback function executed immediately before uibuttongroup is deleted.

For information on how to write graphics listener functions see Callbacks section.

fontangle: "italic" | {"normal"} | "oblique"

Control whether the font is italic or normal.

fontname: string, def. "*"

Name of font used for text rendering. When setting this property, the text rendering engine will search for a matching font in your system. If none is found then text is rendered using a default sans serif font (same as the default "*" value).

fontsize: scalar, def. 10

Size of the font used for text rendering. See fontunits property.

fontunits: "centimeters" | "inches" | "normalized" | "pixels" | {"points"}

Units used to interpret the "fontsize" property.

fontweight: "bold" | "demi" | "light" | {"normal"}

Control the variant of the base font used for text rendering.

foregroundcolor: def. [0 0 0]

handlevisibility: "callback" | "off" | {"on"}

If handlevisibility is "off", the uibuttongroup’s handle is not visible in its parent’s "children" property.

highlightcolor: def. [1 1 1]

hittest: "off" | {"on"}

Specify whether uibuttongroup processes mouse events or passes them to ancestors of the object. When enabled, the object may respond to mouse clicks by evaluating the "buttondownfcn", showing the uicontextmenu, and eventually becoming the root "currentobject". This property is only relevant when the object can accept mouse clicks which is determined by the "pickableparts" property. See pickableparts property.

interruptible: "off" | {"on"}

Specify whether this object’s callback functions may be interrupted by other callbacks. By default interruptible is "on" and callbacks that make use of drawnow, figure, waitfor, getframe or pause functions are eventually interrupted. See Callbacks section.

parent: graphics handle

Handle of the parent graphics object.

pickableparts: "all" | "none" | {"visible"}

Specify whether uibuttongroup will accept mouse clicks. By default, pickableparts is "visible" and only visible parts of the uibuttongroup or its children may react to mouse clicks. When pickableparts is "all" both visible and invisible parts (or children) may react to mouse clicks. When pickableparts is "none" mouse clicks on the object are ignored and transmitted to any objects underneath this one. When an object is configured to accept mouse clicks the "hittest" property will determine how they are processed. See hittest property.

position: def. [0 0 1 1]

resizefcn: string | function handle, def. [](0x0)

resizefcn is deprecated. Use sizechangedfcn instead.

selected: {"off"} | "on"

selectedobject: def. [](0x0)

selectionchangedfcn: def. [](0x0)

selectionhighlight: "off" | {"on"}

shadowcolor: def. [0.70000 0.70000 0.70000]

sizechangedfcn: string | function handle, def. [](0x0)

Callback triggered when the uibuttongroup size is changed.

For information on how to write graphics listener functions see Callbacks section.

tag: string, def. ""

A user-defined string to label the graphics object.

title: def. ""

titleposition: "centerbottom" | "centertop" | "leftbottom" | {"lefttop"} | "rightbottom" | "righttop"

type (read-only): string

Class name of the graphics object. type is always "uibuttongroup"

uicontextmenu: graphics handle, def. [](0x0)

Graphics handle of the uicontextmenu object that is currently associated to this uibuttongroup object.

units: "centimeters" | "characters" | "inches" | {"normalized"} | "pixels" | "points"

userdata: Any Octave data, def. [](0x0)

User-defined data to associate with the graphics object.

visible: "off" | {"on"}

If visible is "off", the uibuttongroup is not rendered on screen.
