  • go = imagesc(...)

Input argument

  • X - x-coordinates: vector or matrix.

  • Y - y-coordinates: vector or matrix.

  • C - Color array: m-by-n-by-3 array of RGB triplets.

  • parent - a scalar graphics object value: parent container, specified as a axes.

Children [].

Parent Parent: axes object.

Tag Object identifier: string scalar, character vector, '' (default).

Type Type of graphics object: 'surface'.

UserData: User data: array or [] (default).

Visible State of visibility: 'off' or 'on' (default).

XData Placement along x-axis: two-element vector, scalar, [1 size(CData, 1)] (default).

YData Placement along y-axis: two-element vector, scalar, [1 size(CData, 2)] (default).

CreateFcnCallback (function handle, string or cell) called when object is created. Set this property on an existing component has no effect.

DeleteFcnCallback (function handle, string or cell) called when object is deleted.

BeingDeleted Flag indicating that the object is being deleted.
