Description

properties([ClassName](#d126e1420859)) displays the names of non-hidden properties with public GetAccess for the MATLAB® class, including inherited properties.

example

properties([obj](#d126e1420878)) displays the names of non-hidden properties with public GetAccess for the object or object array. When obj is scalar, properties also returns dynamic properties. When obj is an array,properties returns the properties of the class of the array.

Usage notes and limitations:

• The function call properties(obj) is supported for code generation only if obj is an instance of a MATLAB class defined in a .m file.
• The order in which the code generated for the functionproperties returns the properties of an object might be different from MATLAB execution.
