figflag
Test if Figure is on screen[flag] = figflag('figurename')
[flag,fig] = figflag('figurename')
[...] = figflag('figurename',silent)
Use figflag to determine if a particular Figure exists, bring a Figure to the foreground, or set the window focus to a Figure.
[flag] = figflag('figurename')
returns a 1 if the Figure named 'figurename' exists and pops the Figure to the foreground, otherwise this function returns 0.
[flag,fig] = figflag('figurename')
returns a 1 in flag, returns the Figure's handle in fig, and pops the Figure to the foreground, if the Figure named 'figurename' exists. Otherwise this function returns 0.
[...] = figflag('figurename',silent)
pops the Figure window to the foreground if silent is 0, and leaves the Figure in its current position if silent is 1.
To determine if a Figure window named 'Fluid Jet Simulation' exists, type
[flag,fig] = figflag('Fluid Jet Simulation')
If two Figures with handles 1 and 3 have the name 'Fluid Jet Simulation', MATLAB returns:
flag =
1
fig =
1 3
