# findobj

## Purpose

Find objects with specified properties.

## Synopsis

    h = findobj('PropertyName',PropertyValue,...)
    h = findobj(obj_h,'PropertyName',PropertyValue,...)
    h = findobj(obj_h,'flat','PropertyName',PropertyValue,...)
    h = findobj
    h = findobj(obj_h)

## Description

`h = findobj('PropertyName',PropertyValue,...)` finds all objects with properties matching those specified in the property name/property value list.

`h = findobj(obj_h,'PropertyName',PropertyValue,...)` restricts the search to objects whose handles are listed in the`obj_h` vector, as well as the descendants of those objects.

`h = findobj(obj_h,'flat','PropertyName',PropertyValue,...)` restricts the search to objects whose handles are listed in the`obj_h` vector. Descendants of these objects are not included.

`h = findobj` returns a vector of handles of all existing objects, including the root object.

`h = findobj(obj_h)` returns a vector of handles for the objects specified in `obj_h`, as well as their descendants.
