15.3.3.19 Uipushtool Properties

Properties of uipushtool objects (see uipushtool):

Categories:

Appearance | Callback Execution | Creation/Deletion | Display | Mouse Interaction | Object Identification | Parent/Children | Pushtool Operation

Appearance

__named_icon__: string, def. ""

The name of an bundled icon file to use as the image for the pushtool object.

cdata: array, def. [](0x0)

Image data used to represent the pushtool object, stored as a M x N x 3 RGB array.

separator: {"off"} | "on"

State indicating whether a separator line will be drawn next to the current pushtool position.

Callback Execution

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.

clickedcallback: string, def. [](0x0)

A string consisting of a valid Octave expression that will be executed whenever this control object is clicked.

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.

Creation/Deletion

beingdeleted: {"off"} | "on"

Property indicating that a function has initiated deletion of the object. beingdeleted is set to true until the object no longer exists.

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

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

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

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

Callback function executed immediately before uipushtool is deleted.

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

Display

clipping: "off" | {"on"}

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

visible: "off" | {"on"}

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

Mouse Interaction

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

buttondownfcn is unused.

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

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

hittest: "off" | {"on"}

Specify whether uipushtool 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.

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

Specify whether uipushtool will accept mouse clicks. By default, pickableparts is "visible" and only visible parts of the uipushtool 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.

selected: {"off"} | "on"

Property indicates whether this uipushtool is selected.

selectionhighlight: "off" | {"on"}

If selectionhighlight is "on", then the uipushtool’s selection state is visually highlighted.

tooltipstring: string, def. ""

A text string that appears in a tooltip when the mouse pointer hovers over the pushtool object.

Object Identification

tag: string, def. ""

A user-defined string to label the graphics object.

type (read-only): string

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

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

User-defined data to associate with the graphics object.

Parent/Children

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

Graphics handles of the uipushtool’s children.

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

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

parent: graphics handle

Handle of the parent graphics object.

Pushtool Operation

enable: "off" | {"on"}

Sets whether this pushtool object is active or is grayed out.
