Permute two handles in the graphic Hierarchy.
swap_handle( handle1, handle2 )
first handle of the permutation.
second handle of the permutation.
The swap_handles function allows to permute two handles in the graphic hierarchy. The first handle will take the second handle position and vice versa.
The handles must have the same parent type or the same type to avoid incompatibilities.
This routine may be used on children of the same parent to change their indices.
//-----------------// // First example // //-----------------// // create a rectangle xrect( 0.5, 0.5,0.5,0.5) ; rect = gce() ; // create a circle xarc( 0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0, 64 * 360 ) ; circle = gce() ; // create an arrow xpoly([0,1],[0,1]) ; arrow = gce() ; arrow.polyline_style = 4 ; arrow.arrow_size_factor = 4 ; // get the list of children axes = gca() ; axes.children // change the order swap_handles( rect, arrow ) ; swap_handles( arrow, circle ) ; // get the new order axes.children //-----------------// // Second example // //-----------------// // create two windows plot2d ; axes1 = gca() ; scf() ; fec ; axes2 = gca() ; // swap their axes // note that the color map does not change. swap_handles( axes1, axes2 ) ; | ![]() | ![]() |
