hgsave and hgload works but are only for figures. You specifically tell load 
function it is a HDF5 file by using the 'hdf5' option? And are sure it is a 
correct HDF5 file?


Always avoided python since it lack specific types but Octave also have the 
same problem, there could be just about anything in a variable, this is 
particularly a problem for function parameters, it can't even see the 
difference between a string and a number.
