When I try openfig on the attached .fig file I get the following error:

>> openfig('C:\matlab\sudoku\royle17\royle17.fig')
error: structure has no member 'position'
error: called from
    struct2hdl>createaxes at line 263 column 5
    struct2hdl at line 182 column 6
    struct2hdl at line 225 column 8
    hgload at line 105 column 5
    openfig at line 120 column 3
stopped in struct2hdl>createaxes at line 263 [C:\Program Files\GNU
Octave\Octave-10.3.0\mingw64\share\octave\10.3.0\m\plot\util\struct2hdl.m]
263:     propval = {"position", s.properties.position};
debug>

The .fig file was generated in MATLAB 2012 (either a or b; not sure which; I
use both).

Regards,
Andy
