Figure count

Is there a way of counting the number of figure windows currently open? I am trying to clear a set of figure windows without closing them.

Yes, you can use the 'numel' and 'findall' functions in MATLAB [SL: removed URL unrelated to question] to count the number of open figure windows.

h =  findobj('type','figure');
n = length(h);

And you can set the properties of all three at once using their handles - stored in h.

This was handy for me, too, 11 years after it was answered. :-)
