Request to run a command in matlab.

[David Bateman]

Could someone with access to matlab tell me if with the command

plot(1:10); whitebg(); drawnow(); sleep(2); reset(0)

the call to reset changes the color of the figure back to the default 
colors? The documentation from matlab is unclear on this point, of 
whether reset changes the default properties and only affects subsequent 
figures or if the changes take effect immediately. Also what does

plot(1:10); whitebg(); drawnow(); sleep(2); reset(gca())

do, as this might very well be a different case? I've now implemented 
the whitebg command and would like to implement colordef and reset 
before posting this code, and need the feedback of how matlab treats the 
above two commands to be able to implement the reset function.

Cheers
