Antenna Pattern delete axis and ellipses

Hi,

when plotting antenna radiation patterns like in this example below, it always plots x,y,z axis and three ellipses. I do not want to see any ellipses and the axis colors should be black only. Is there also a way to hide the left box on the bottom containing the antenna symbol and also the information box on the left upper corner?

Thank you very much!

ant = helix;
pattern(ant,2e9)

Here's one way to do some of that:

ant = helix;
pattern(ant,2e9)

f = gcf();

ax = findall(f,'Type','Axes','Tag','patternAxis');
p = findall(ax,'Type','patch');
h = findall(ax,'Type','line');
t = findall(ax,'Type','text');
set([p;h;t],'Visible','off')

ax = findall(f,'Type','Axes','Tag','geometryInPattern');
set([ax; allchild(ax)],'Visible','off')

uic = findall(f,'Type','uicontrol');
set(uic,'Visible','off');

bnd = findall(f,'Tag','boundarydotted');
set(bnd,'Visible','off');

I'm not sure what you mean by "the axis colors should be black only". Can you explain that part?

wow this is really impressive, thank you.

What I meant was that I still want to see the axis x,y,z (and the text, ev and az can also stay) in black color and not different colors for each axis.

This command effectively deletes the ellipses, so I only need the code for changing the color of h(1,1) to h(3,1)

set([h(6,1),h(7,1),h(8,1)],'Visible','off')

and this does the trick:

set([h(1,1)],'Color',[0,0,0])

thank you again, my question is now answered

ant = helix;
pattern(ant,2e9)

f = gcf();

ax = findall(f,'Type','Axes','Tag','patternAxis');
h = findall(ax,'Type','line');
set(h([6 7 8]),'Visible','off')
set(h([1 2 3]),'Color','k')

ax = findall(f,'Type','Axes','Tag','geometryInPattern');
set([ax; allchild(ax)],'Visible','off')

uic = findall(f,'Type','uicontrol');
set(uic,'Visible','off');

bnd = findall(f,'Tag','boundarydotted');
set(bnd,'Visible','off');

You're welcome!
