I'm not a fan of handle graphics. Opinion of course, but first
finding a characteristic's position in some hierarchy tree before
changing it always seems a bother to me.
Indeed. Although Nicholas's comments seem harsh, I tend to agree. I
also don't see a tremendous need to replicate handle graphics either. I
think the most important thing is to have a usable, and beautiful,
graphics and visualization system available sooner rather than later. It
could take years, if ever, to replicate Matlab's advanced 3D surface and
volume functionality starting from scratch.
Gnuplot is catching up too. I know it has been some slow going, but a lot of the
features are in the recent release. Perhaps more coming soon... although, pie charts is
still dodgy. (Octave's fix with the repeated lines reminds of "Speedy" neon
signs from McDonald's way back when.) Pie charts are a philosophical divide.
