getpixelposition

Get component position in pixels

Syntax

position = getpixelposition(handle) position = getpixelposition(handle,recursive)

Description

position = getpixelposition(handle)gets the position, inpixels, of the component specified byhandle。MATLAB^®returns thepositionas a four-element vector that specifies the location and size of the component: [distance from left, distance from bottom, width, height].

position = getpixelposition(handle,recursive)gets the position as above. Ifrecursiveis true, the returned position is relative to the parent figure ofhandle。

Use thegetpixelpositionfunction only to obtain coordinates for children of figures and container components (uipanels, or uibuttongroups). Results are not reliable for children of axes or other graphics objects.

Examples

This example creates a push button within a panel, and then retrieves its position, in pixels, relative to thepanel。

f = figure('Position',[300 300 300 200]); p = uipanel('Position',[.2 .2 .6 .6]); h1 = uicontrol(p,'Style','PushButton',。..'Units','Normalized',。..'String','Push Button',。..'Position',[.1 .1 .5 .2]); drawnow; pos1 = getpixelposition(h1)
