So, I've been working on the .m files for the front-end side of Object 
Graphics, and I've found a few inconsistencies in the standard as it's 
currently written:

Axes
* CameraViewAngle: the angle measure is not set.  I will define it in
   degrees (0-180).
* x, y, zticklabel - should be cells, but really they should be removed in
   favor of x, y, zticklabelobjects.  (My preference is to remove them.)
* x, y, zscale - should be "linear" or "log" instead of "normal" or "log"

Legend
* color - should be removed, text color should be handled by the text
   objects.
* fontname, fontsize - should be removed for the same reason
* Should we add a ChildrenInherit feature to this as well as groups?  (my
   preference is yes.)

Patch
* Add zdata

The full text is still at http://wiki.octave.org/wiki.pl?ObjectGraphics
