How do I get the handles of all open figures in MATLAB

The situation is following. I run a couple of tests, which plot a lot of figures. I would like to convert them to pdf and compile into one file. Since each time I may get different type of plots and different number of plots, I need to get the list of all figures in current matlab session or workspace. Is this doable?

Thanks

Answer 1

h = get(0,'Children');

will put the “handles” to the figures you currently have in the variable h. get(handle) and set(handle,...) are gigantically useful in general. The handle 0 points at the root of the display, so all the figures on the display are the root’s Children.
