How can I retrieve the handle for a camlight in the current figure?

I am trying to retrieve a camlight handle from the current figure, then be able to adjust the camlight position. Something like...

handle = somehow get the camlight light;

camlight(handle,'right');

any thoughts?

Thanks in advance

You can get the camlight handle from the return value that camlight returns or you can use findobj to retrieve the camlight handle. I have posted a code snippet example to explain the same:

surf(peaks) axis vis3d h = camlight('left'); for i = 1:20; camorbit(10,0) camlight(h,'left') pause(.1) end

l = findobj(gcf,'Type','Light')

Hope this Helps!!
