In Matlab help, in the Figure properties there's this example:
fig = figure;
u = fig.Units;
fig.Units = 'inches';
My question is: why do I need u = fig.Units; if I can get an handle to the properties using fig.propertie='value'?
Thank you

In my experience, if you are changing the units at some point other than when you are creating the figure, then you are usually doing so in order to inquire what the Position is in a particular unit. As there is not a call to ask "Position in inches", you typically instead record the current units with a call such as u = fig.Units; and then change to the desired units, and then get the Position, and then change the units back to the original units with fig.Units = u;

I see...so, I see u = fig.Units; acts as a "quick handle" to revert to the original units. It could be done also by fig.Units = 'inches'; and then fig.Units = 'mm'. The position defined in inches is maintained, only the units are converted to mm.

When you change Units, then Position is recalculated from the old units to the new units.
u = fig.Units;
fig.Units = 'inches';
pos = fig.Position; %gets position in inches no matter how it was originally defined
fig.Units = u; %goes back to old units
The advantage over fig.Units = 'mm' afterwards is that you not relying on the old units being 'mm'.

Yes, I could be wrong... with fig.units=u; its assured the old units are used.
