: clf

: clf reset

: clf (hfig)

: clf (hfig, "reset")

: h = clf (…)

Clear the current figure window.

clf operates by deleting child graphics objects with visible handles (HandleVisibility = "on").

If the optional argument "reset" is specified, delete all child objects including those with hidden handles and reset all figure properties to their defaults. However, the following properties are not reset: Position, Units, PaperPosition, PaperUnits.

If the first argument hfig is a figure handle, then operate on this figure rather than the current figure returned by gcf.

The optional return value h is the graphics handle of the figure window that was cleared.

See also: cla, close, delete, reset.
