15.3.3.8 Surface Properties

The surface properties are:

__modified__: "off" | {"on"}
alphadata: scalar | matrix, def. 1

Transparency is not yet implemented for surface objects. alphadata is unused.

alphadatamapping: "direct" | "none" | {"scaled"}

Transparency is not yet implemented for surface objects. alphadatamapping is unused.

ambientstrength: def. 0.30000

Light is not yet implemented for surface objects. ambientstrength is unused.

backfacelighting: "lit" | {"reverselit"} | "unlit"

Light is not yet implemented for surface objects. backfacelighting is unused.

beingdeleted: {"off"} | "on"
busyaction: "cancel" | {"queue"}
buttondownfcn: string | function handle, def. [](0x0)
cdata: matrix, def. 3-by-3 double
cdatamapping: "direct" | {"scaled"}
cdatasource: def. ""
children (read-only): vector of graphics handles, def. [](0x1)

children is unused.

clipping: "off" | {"on"}

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

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

Callback function executed immediately after surface has been created. Function is set by using default property on root object, e.g., set (0, "defaultsurfacecreatefcn", 'disp ("surface created!")').

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

Callback function executed immediately before surface is deleted.

diffusestrength: def. 0.60000

Light is not yet implemented for surface objects. diffusestrength is unused.

displayname: def. ""

Text for the legend entry corresponding to this surface.

edgealpha: scalar, def. 1

Transparency is not yet implemented for surface objects. edgealpha is unused.

edgecolor: def. [0 0 0]
edgelighting: "flat" | "gouraud" | {"none"} | "phong"

Light is not yet implemented for surface objects. edgelighting is unused.

erasemode: "background" | "none" | {"normal"} | "xor"

erasemode is unused.

facealpha: scalar | matrix, def. 1

Transparency is not yet implemented for surface objects. facealpha is unused.

facecolor: {"flat"} | "interp" | "none" | "texturemap"
facelighting: "flat" | "gouraud" | {"none"} | "phong"

Light is not yet implemented for surface objects. facelighting is unused.

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

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

hittest: "off" | {"on"}
interpreter: "latex" | "none" | {"tex"}

markerfacecolor: "auto" | "flat" | {"none"}

See line markerfacecolor property.

markersize: scalar, def. 6

See line markersize property.

meshstyle: {"both"} | "column" | "row"
normalmode: {"auto"} | "manual"
parent: graphics handle

Handle of the parent graphics object.

selected: {"off"} | "on"

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

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

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

User-defined data to associate with the graphics object.

vertexnormals: def. 3-by-3-by-3 double
visible: "off" | {"on"}

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

xdata: matrix, def. [1 2 3]
