The search can be limited to a particular object or set of objects and their descendants by passing a handle or set of handles <var>h</var> as the first argument to <code>findobj</code>. <p>The depth of hierarchy of objects to which to search to can be limited with the '-depth' argument. To limit the number depth of the hierarchy to search to <var>d</var> generations of children, and example is <pre class="example"> findobj (<var>h</var>, '-depth', <var>d</var>, <var>prop_Name</var>, <var>prop_Value</var>) </pre> <p>Specifying a depth <var>d</var> of 0, limits the search to the set of object passed in <var>h</var>. A depth <var>d</var> of 0 is equivalent to the '-flat' argument. <p>A specified logical operator may be applied to the pairs of <var>prop_Name</var> and <var>prop_Value</var>. The supported logical operators are '-and', '-or', '-xor', '-not'. <p>The objects may also be matched by comparing a regular expression to the property values, where property values that match <code>regexp (</code><var>prop_Value</var><code>, </code><var>pattern</var><code>)</code> are returned. Finally, objects may be matched by property name only, using the '-property' option. <!-- Texinfo @sp should work but in practice produces ugly results for HTML. --> <!-- A simple blank line produces the correct behavior. --> <!-- @sp 1 --> <p class="noindent"><strong>See also:</strong> <a href="doc_002dget.html#doc_002dget">get</a>, <a href="doc_002dset.html#doc_002dset">set</a>. </p></blockquote></div> <!-- ./plot/findall.m --> <p><a name="doc_002dfindall"></a> <div class="defun"> — Function File: <var>h</var> = <b>findall</b> ()<var><a name="index-findall-1204"></a></var><br> — Function File: <var>h</var> = <b>findall</b> (<var>prop_name, prop_value</var>)<var><a name="index-findall-1205"></a></var><br> — Function File: <var>h</var> = <b>findall</b> (<var>h, <small class="dots">...</small></var>)<var><a name="index-findall-1206"></a></var><br> — Function File: <var>h</var> = <b>findall</b> (<var>h, "-depth", d, <small class="dots">...</small></var>)<var><a name="index-findall-1207"></a></var><br> <blockquote><p>Find object with specified property values including hidden handles. <p>This function performs the same function as <code>findobj</code>, but it includes hidden objects in its search.
