Display the mesh as a patch on the current axes

Syntax

show(mesh)

show(mesh,ax)

ax = show(mesh)

[ax,p] = show(mesh)

Description

show(mesh) displays the extendedObjectMesh as a patch on the current axes. If there are no active axes, the function creates new axes.

show(mesh,ax) displays the object mesh as a patch on the axes ax.

ax = show(mesh) optionally returns the handle to the axes where the mesh was plotted.

[ax,p] = show(mesh) also returns the Patch object that contains the data for the mesh. Use p to query and modify properties of the patch object after it is created. For a list of properties and descriptions, see Patch Properties.
