How to list property values

I am using plot and other graphics commands that require setting property values. Is there a way I can see all the properties that I can set values to?

If I use >>set(gcf)

I get a list but 'FontSize', for example, is not among the list.

I am specifically looking for a way to set the color of text in a 'text' statement on a graph.

Thanks.

Figures do not have a FontSize property.

If you

set(text())

then you will see that there is a property named 'Color'.

Generally speaking, the graphics command documentation for a low-level object will have a reference to the place you can find the (documented) properties for the object. For example, http://www.mathworks.com/help/techdoc/ref/text.html says near the top,

For a list of properties, see Text Properties.

There are also undocumented properties. For more information on those, please see Yair's blog on them
