The ones that will definitely be handled by the object graphics will be:

contourf drawnow fill fill3 gtext legend meshc pareto patch pcolor peaks 
pie quiver scatter stem surf surfc text view zoom

The ones that touch on, but are not specific to, object graphics are

brighten imread imwrite

brighten would require minimal modification after object graphics is 
completed if done now, and imread and imwrite are independent of object 
graphics.

I'm not sure where psi fits in.
