## 4.4: uiextras.set

Store a default property value in a parent object

`uiextras.set(``hObj``,``propName``,``propValue``)`
  stores a default property value in the object hObj such that children created inside it of the correct class will use the specified value (`propValue`) for the specified property by default. The property name should take the form "DefaultClassProperty", for example to set the default "TitleColor" for the class "uiextras.BoxPanel", use "DefaultBoxPanelTitleColor". Note that using the special object handle 0 sets the default for all new figures.

### For example:

    uiextras.set( gcf(), 'DefaultBoxPanelTitleColor', 'g' )

    uiextras.set( 0, 'DefaultHBoxPadding', 5 )
