Not sure what you mean by this. -Properties- in Matlab graphics have
an object-oriented flavor-- graphic 'objects' are located in a
hierarchy where properties are encapsulated at various levels.
However, that's really all there is to it (IMO).

More generally, Matlab doesn't have pointer variables or event
management so 'object-orientation' in Matlab has definite limits.
Effectively, object-orientation in Matlab is a way of extending the
type system in a transparent fashion. Very useful, but not the whole
nine yards.
