SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

% -*- texinfo -*-
% @deftypefn {Function File} {} gcf 
% Return the current figure handle.  If a figure does not exist, create
% one and return its handle.  The handle may then be used to examine or
% set properties of the figure.  For example,
%
% @example
% @group
% fplot (@@sin, [-10, 10]);
% fig = gcf ;
% set (fig, 'visible', 'off');
% @end group
% @end example
%
% @noindent
% plots a sine wave, finds the handle of the current figure, and then
% makes that figure invisible.  Setting the visible property of the
% figure to @code{'on'} will cause it to be displayed again.
% @seealso{get, set}
% @end deftypefn
