Abstract :
Among engineers and scientists, MATLAB is one of the most popular computational packages. Part of MATLAB´s popularity stems from its simple, yet sophisticated, graphics capabilities. While basic plots are relatively easy to obtain, specialized plots require a little more effort to produce. This article introduces MATLAB´s Handle Graphics, which provides a mechanism to fully control and customize graphics objects in MATLAB. With a basic understanding of Handle Graphics, users can produce plots that meet the unique needs and quality standards commonly required by the profession, several examples are presented to illustrate the concepts.
