Using Object Properties

Command-line syntax for entering and retrieving property values.

Entering Property ValuesUse either MATLAB functions or object dot notation to enter or change property values.
Retrieving Property ValuesUse either MATLAB functions or object dot notation to get property values.
Help for Objects, Methods, and PropertiesUse the command sbiohelp to get information about properties.

Entering Property Values

Enter or change a single property value using dot notation.

ObjectName.PropertyName = PropertyValue

Enter or change one or more property values using the MATLAB function set.

set(ObjectName, 'Propertyname', PropertyValue, ...)

Retrieving Property Values

Retrieve a single property value using dot notation.

PropertyValue = ObjectName.PropertyName

Retrieve one or more property values using the MATLAB function get.

PropertyValue(s) = get(ObjectName, 'PropertyName', ...)

Retrieve one or more property values using the object method get.

PropertyValue(s) = ObjectName.get('PropertyName', ...)

List or retrieve all property values using one of the following commands:

get(ObjectName)
AllPropertyValues = get(ObjectName)

ObjectName.get
