hi, i wanted to ask is there some logics for remembering the syntax in Matlab, because sometimes i found the syntax have different logics, which confused myself. For example, < box on/off > is a simplified syntax in controlling whether the axis box is on. There are two syntax with different logics on controlling box. One is < box(ax,"off") >, and the other one is < set(ax,"box","off") > . PS. The former is probably the full form of < box off > ?? These two forms have different starting point within it. But when it comes to setting xlabel, it seems we could only use < xlabel("Time") >, and < set(ax,"XLabel","Time") > doesnot work. Why is this so as both box and XLabel are the properties of Axis. The funny thing is that < ax.XLabel.String = "Time" > is also ok. Can someone help explain? Thanks.hi, i wanted to ask is there some logics for remembering the syntax in Matlab, because sometimes i found the syntax have different logics, which confused myself.
