Algorithm (Workflow)
The function CATIAbackground is designed to change the background color of the current figure in MATLAB to resemble the color scheme used in CATIA software. It is part of the SolidGeometry library and was introduced in version 5.2.
Input Parameters
- iscat: A boolean value (true or false). If not provided, the function toggles the background color based on the current color of the figure.
Algorithm Steps
- The function checks if there is a current figure using
gcfSG. If no figure exists, the function returns immediately.
- The function retrieves the value of
iscat using getfuncparams. If iscat is not provided, it checks the current figure's color. If the color is [1 1 0.9], it sets iscat to true; otherwise, it sets it to false.
- The function finds all axes objects within the current figure using
findobj and stores them in subs.
- If
iscat is true, the function sets the figure's background color to [69/255 69/255 115/255] and changes the axes' colors to match. It also sets the axes' X, Y, and Z colors to white [1 1 1] and ensures the axes are visible.
- If
iscat is false, the function sets the figure's background color to [1 1 0.9] and the axes' colors to white [1 1 1]. It sets the axes' X, Y, and Z colors to black [0 0 0] and ensures the axes are visible.
