Thread Subject:

patch

Hi,

I have two PATCH objetcs, e.g.
ip(1) = patch([.2 .3 .3 .2],[.2 .2 .3 .3 ],'r');
ip(2) = patch([.25 .35 .35 .25],[.25 .25 .35 .35 ],'g');

the second is sitting on top of the first one, as it was created later. I want this to be the other way around, i.e. the first one on top. To achieve this, I am doing just blunt

delete(ip)
ip(2) = patch([.25 .35 .35 .25],[.25 .25 .35 .35 ],'g');
ip(1) = patch([.2 .3 .3 .2],[.2 .2 .3 .3 ],'r');

But is there a more natural way of flipping them? I checked the PATCH properties, but did not find anything to address this issue.

Thanks

You can use UISTACK:

uistack(ip(1), 'up', 1)

or you can adjust the ZData property of one or both of the patches. If one
of the patches is at the default z level (corresponding to z = 0, I believe)
and the other is at level z = 0.1, the one at z = 0.1 will be on top of the
one at the default level.

You could do it via:

>> set (gca, 'children', flipud (get (gca, 'children')))
