Text objects and dot notation

Hi,

What is the fastest way of changing the Position property of multiple text objects?

I've tried the dot notation (as this is said to be the fastest way of manipulating properties of graphical objects), but I can't even access the Position data:

>> hText = handle(text(rand(10,1),rand(10,1),'test'));
>> hText.Position
No appropriate method, property, or field Position for class hg.text.

I would like to do something like this:

hText.Position = [rand(10,1) rand(10,1)];

With line objects, this works perfectly and is faster than using the set-command.

What am I missing here?

Try removing the handle:

hText = text(rand(10,1),rand(10,1),'test');

The text properties page give this example, which you can adapt for your purpose:

t = text(0.5,0.5,'text here');
s = t.FontSize;
t.FontSize = 12;
