Instead of using multiple if and isa statements to check if the first argument is a matlab.graphics.axis.Axes object, a single call to axescheck handles the heavy lifting. A craftsman's ritual
It is not passivity, nor avoidance, nor the soft surrender of the pacifist. It is a warrior's pause. A craftsman's ritual. % Set current axes plot(x
% Old way (often required axescheck) h = axes; axes(h); % Set current axes plot(x, y);
% 'ax' is now a valid axes handle % 'args' contains the remaining data (x, y)
It is important to note that in newer versions of MATLAB (R2014b and later), the graphics system was updated (Handle Graphics 2.0). Many modern plotting functions now accept the axes handle as the first argument natively.
