MATLAB Group Objects

Group objects enable you to treat a number of axes child objects as one group.

For example, you can make the entire group visible or invisible.

Example

Y = rand(5);
disp(Y)

barseries

  BAR(X,Y) draws the columns of the M-by-N matrix Y as M groups of N
  vertical bars.  The vector X must not have duplicate values.

  BAR(Y) uses the default value of X=1:M.  For vector inputs, BAR(X,Y)
  or BAR(Y) draws LENGTH(Y) bars.  The colors are set by the colormap.

  H = BAR(...) returns a vector of handles to barseries objects.

hb = bar(Y); % displays 5 barseries objects

create group

You create a group by parenting axes children to an hggroup or hgtransform object:

hg = hggroup;
set(hb,'Parent',hg) % parent the barseries to the hggroup

make it invisible

set(hg,'Visible','off') % makes all barseries invisible

make it visible again

set(hg,'Visible','on'); % turn it back on
