Creating Another Attribute

Create another attribute called AxesColor, which lets the user choose one of four colors for the axes: white, green, red and blue. The default color will be white. The name of the attribute, as is appears in the Setup File Editor, will be Color of Axes.

To do this task, add the following lines of code to getinfo.m (comments are preceded by `%' and are optional).

• % This creates an attribute called AxesColor, which has a default 
  % color of  white (1 1 1).
  out.att.AxesColor=[1 1 1];
  
  % This creates a name for the attribute, which appears in the 
  % attribute page in the Options tab.
  out.attx.AxesColor.String='Color of axes';
  
  % This creates an enumerated list with color choices of 
  % white (1 1 1), green (0 1 0), red (1 0 0), and blue (0 0 1).
  out.attx.AxesColor.enumValues = {[1 1 1] [0 1 0] [1 0 0] [0 0 1]};
  
  % This creates the names for the entries in the enumerated 
  % list: white, green, red and blue.)
  out.attx.AxesColor.enumNames  = {'white' 'green' 'red' 'blue'};
  

Note that out.attx.AxesColor.UIcontrol and out.attx.AxesColor.Type are not specified here. A default UI control and data type are used, according to the default value.

Changing a Previously Created Attribute

You can change a field for any attribute that you create by editing the getinfo.m.

The slider created for NumLines has a range of -inf to inf.

• out.attx.NumLines.numberRange=[-inf inf];
  

A slider by default has a range of: [-inf +inf]; it guesses about the range. Change the slider range to [1 10] (minimum and maximum number of lines).
