Re: Handle graphics again

I am not aware of any such document. I think it would be a very good
idea to start one.
It can be based on the previous discussions we had here.
You can also use some of the octplot stuff -- in the octplot src
directory you have *_props.m files which are help files describing the
available object properties in octplot -- this can save you some
typing.
