MATLAB Function Reference    
whitebg

Change axes background color

Syntax

Description

whitebg complements the colors in the current figure.

whitebg(h) complements colors in all figures specified in the vector h.

whitebg(ColorSpec) and whitebg(h,ColorSpec) change the color of the axes, which are children of the figure, to the color specified by ColorSpec.

Remarks

whitebg changes the colors of the figure's children, with the exception of shaded surfaces. This ensures that all objects are visible against the new background color. whitebg sets the default properties on the root such that all subsequent figures use the new background color.

Examples

Set the background color to blue-gray.
