<p>All class properties must be defined within <code class="code">properties</code> blocks.  The
definition of a default value for a property is optional and can be omitted.
The default initial value for each class property is <code class="code">[]</code>.
</p>
<p>A <code class="code">properties</code> block can have additional attributes to specify access
rights or to define constants:
</p>
<div class="example">
<div class="group"><pre class="example-preformatted">classdef some_class
  properties (Access = <var class="var">mode</var>)
    <var class="var">prop1</var>
  endproperties

  properties (SetAccess = <var class="var">mode</var>, GetAccess = <var class="var">mode</var>)
    <var class="var">prop2</var>
  endproperties

  properties (Constant = true)
    <var class="var">prop3</var> = pi ()
  endproperties

  properties
    <var class="var">prop4</var> = 1337
  endproperties
endclassdef
</pre></div></div>

<p>where <var class="var">mode</var> can be one of:
</p>
<dl class="table">
<dt><code class="code">public</code></dt>
<dd><p>The properties can be accessed from everywhere.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code class="code">private</code></dt>
<dd><p>The properties can only be accessed from class methods.  Subclasses of that
class cannot access them.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code class="code">protected</code></dt>
<dd><p>The properties can only be accessed from class methods and from subclasses
of that class.
</p></dd>
</dl>

<p>When creating an object of <code class="code">some_class</code>, <var class="var">prop1</var> has the default
value <code class="code">[]</code> and reading from and writing to <var class="var">prop1</var> is defined by
a single <var class="var">mode</var>.  For <var class="var">prop2</var> the read and write access can be set
differently.  Finally, <var class="var">prop3</var> is a constant property which can only be
initialized once within the <code class="code">properties</code> block.
</p>
<p>By default, in the example <var class="var">prop4</var>, properties are not constant and have
public read and write access.
