Details:

The graphics_toolkit() function can be used to switch an existing plot from
one backend to another.  However, this is no longer true for 'qt' plots which
have a uitoolbar object.

This isn't tragic as I don't believe the functionality is used often.  And
gnuplot is no longer a preferred backend for plotting.  Still, if it was easy
to restore functionality we should.

Sample code


close all
graphics_toolkit ("qt");
hf = figure;
plot (1:10, "o-");
graphics_toolkit (hf, "gnuplot")
error: __gnuplot_draw_figure__: unknown object class, uitoolbar
error: called from
    __gnuplot_draw_figure__ at line 179 column 13
    __gnuplot_drawnow__ at line 86 column 5
