The part that will be common to all graphics and GUI tools, and the part that I think should be written just once, and be a part of Octave, is the part that manages the data structure that defines the plot. This is what is manipulated by the set and get functions.[snip] Currently in my code, the drawnow function opens a connection to gnuplot directly, but this is not quite what I want. Instead, it should call a backend-specific drawnow function that handles plotting for the currently active graphics backend.
I'm interested in this, too. Is there currently a document similar to http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/creating_plots/hg_objec.html or http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/ref/func_b52.html that defines what what handle types, properties of those types, and allowable child types should exist for each figure? If not, I would be willing to start working on one or help develop what is already there.
