isuifigure

check for figure versus uifigure

Today gui can be developped within figure or uifigure. It may be useful to write codes which are compatible with the two alternatives, according to user preference for example.

In this case, it is frequently necessary to check if the current graphical object is a figure or uifigure or its figure ancestor. The short function isuifigure answers to the question.

For example:

hf=uifigure;ax=axes(hf);

isuifigure(hf) or isuifigure(ax) gives true

hf=figure;ax=axes(hf);

isuifigure(hf) or isuifigure(ax) gives false
