Objects exposed using the MATLAB Plug-in

For objects exposed using the MATLAB Plug-in, SET and GET are used in the same fashion as working with Handle Graphics. By passing a VRo object (loaded using vroload) to the set command, its type, name, and exposed properties are displayed:

>> set(VRobj)

Type: MatlabSphere

Name: RedBall

Properties: Translation (Vect3D)

In the above example, a Sphere object named RedBall has its Translation property exposed.

To control the object, do the following:

>> set(VRobj, 'Translation', [0, 5.6, 2.3])

To retrieve values from the VR object, do the following:

>> VRTrans = get(VRobj, 'Translation')

Objects controlled through a WorldUp subroutine

For objects controlled through a WorldUp subroutine, SET is used in the same fashion as working with Handle Graphics. By passing a VRo object (loaded using vroload) to the set command, its type, name, and inputs are displayed:

>> set(VRobj)

Type: Script

Name: moveblock

Inputs: Block X

Block Y

Block Z

In the above example, a Script named moveblock accepts three inputs.

To pass values to this script to control the object, do the following:

>>set(VRobj, 'Inputs', [0, 5.6, 2.3])

GET does not work with script objects.
