2Axes Properties<br />

You can set and query graphics object properties in two ways:<br />

• The Property Editor is an interactive tool that enables you to see and change<br />

object property values.<br />

• The set and get commands enable you to set and query the values of<br />

properties<br />

To change the default value of properties see Setting Default Property Values.<br />

This section lists property names along with the types of values each accepts.<br />

Curly braces { } enclose default values.<br />

ALim [amin, amax]<br />

Alpha axis limits. A two-element vector that determines how <strong>MATLAB</strong> maps<br />

the AlphaData values of surface, patch and image objects to the figure's<br />

alphamap. amin is the value of the data mapped to the first alpha value in the<br />

alphamap, and amax is the value of the data mapped to the last alpha value in<br />

the alphamap. Data values in between are linearly interpolated across the<br />

alphamap, while data values outside are clamped to either the first or last<br />

alphamap value, whichever is closest.<br />

When ALimMode is auto (the default), <strong>MATLAB</strong> assigns amin the minimum<br />

data value and amax the maximum data value in the graphics object's<br />

AlphaData. This maps AlphaData elements with minimum data values to the<br />

first alphamap entry and those with maximum data values to the last<br />

alphamap entry. Data values in between are mapped linearly to the values<br />

If the axes contains multiple graphics objects, <strong>MATLAB</strong> sets ALim to span the<br />

range of all objects' AlphaData (or FaceVertexAlphaData for patch objects).<br />

ALimMode {auto} | manual<br />

Alpha axis limits mode.Inauto mode, <strong>MATLAB</strong> sets the ALim property to span<br />

the AlphaData limits of the graphics objects displayed in the axes. If ALimMode<br />

is manual, <strong>MATLAB</strong> does not change the value of ALim when the AlphaData<br />

limits of axes children change. Setting the ALim property sets ALimMode to<br />

manual.<br />

AmbientLightColor ColorSpec<br />

The background light in a scene. Ambient light is a directionless light that<br />

shines uniformly on all objects in the axes. However, if there are no visible light
