HandleGraphicsSetGet class

An extension of the handle graphics set/get class HGSETGET.

Description

The HGSETGETPLUS class allows the user to:

* Implement a handle class with a get/set interface.
* Define validation criteria for properties that are checked when the
method SET is called.
* Display those criteria for a given property or all the properties.
* Set defaults for the properties.
* Allow a variety of input types in a consistent manner.

Example:
>> h = hgsetgetplusTemplate

h =

  hgsetgetplusTemplate handle

  Properties:
    length: 0
      unit: 'm'

  Methods, Events, Superclasses

>> set(h)
    length: 'double -and- scalar'
      unit: '[ {m} | cm ]'

>> set(h,'unit','kg')
??? Error using ==> setOneProperty
Expected kg to match one of these strings:

  m, cm

The input, 'kg', did not match any of the valid strings.

I would like to thank Jiro Doke for some ideas that got me started and for encouraging me to submit this.

• MATLAB release: MATLAB 7.11 (2010b)
• Other requirements: This class requires the MATLAB builtin class hgsetget. It contains a folder with unit tests. To run them, the <http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/22846-matlab-xunit-test-framework Matlab xUnit Test Framework> is needed.

Professional work. Clear documentation and examples. I also appreciate the unit test provided, which adds greatly to my confidence in this work.
Thanks.

This is an excellent submission. My favorite feature is the enumeration of allowable property values for an object. As the reviewer above commented, this is well organized and documented.
