[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #50466] makehgtform function missing

[Bob Stephens]

Follow-up Comment #10, bug #50466 (project octave):

There is a list of allowed types in
http://matlab.izmiran.ru/help/techdoc/ref/hgtransformproperties.html

"Children of the hgtransform object. An array containing the handles of all
graphics objects parented to the hgtransform object (whether visible or not).

The graphics objects that can be children of an hgtransform are images,
lights, lines, patches, rectangles, surfaces, and text. You can change the
order of the handles and thereby change the stacking of the objects on the
display.

Note that if a child object's HandleVisibility property is set to callback or
off, its handle does not show up in the hgtransform Children property unless
you set the Root ShowHiddenHandles property to on. "

I had a limited period license for Matlab for a short period but did not get
to know it well enough. Looking at the plot example in a text it appears that
the position of the text is rotated but  not the orientation (Hope that makes
sense). Eg X, Y and coordinate frame labels are upright but positioned to
correspond to the relevant axis.

Would it be viable as an intermediate option to allow text to be added (or
behave as though it had been added) but then ignore it.  Something that would
allow code built for Matlab to run but with a reduced functionality (not
displaying text)?
