Thread Subject: Frame on uicontrol "text"

Does anybody know how to add a frame to an uicontrol "text" object?

I added the background color (red), I'd like to have a green or black frame but I don't know how to add it.

Thanks for even reading.

You mean the EdgeColor?

An example from text documentation:
text(3*pi/4,sin(3*pi/4),...
'\leftarrowsin(t) = .707',...
'EdgeColor','red');

Thank you for your reply,

I intend the "text" properties from uicontrol, not the one from figures.




I'll be more specific what I need is:

uitext=uicontrol('style','text',...
    'units','pixels',...
    'fontsize',8,...
    'String','String',...
    'Backgroundcolor',[1 0 0]);


The edgecolor is not supported.


Thank you the same

Is this what you mean?




figure('un','pix','pos',[400 400 300 130],'menub','n','resize','of');
uicontrol('sty','fr','un','pix','pos',[20 20 260 90],'backg',[.2 .9 .4]);
uicontrol('sty','tex','un','pix','pos',[24 24 252 82],'backg',[.8 .2 .2],...
          'stri',{' ','Here''s a text box'},'fonts',15 );

Interisting solution that fits perfectly what I mean.

I deduce there is no straight solutions like a "frame property" or something similar.

Drawing a rectangle behind every text box may too much rough but I'll do it.


Thank you very much Matt
