I would very much prefer to have the group objects (R14). I personally think that matlab's group objects are somewhat broken (I can't assign a color to the group and have it propagate down to all sub-objects for example), but I think that it is one of the best and most powerful features of the new implementation. It also allows for very good things such as having a single handle for errorbar plots; in R13 and before, two line handles were generated: one for the regular line and one for the error bars, but in R14, there is just one handle, but you can still get the granular control if you want by going to the children of the error bar group.And which M*lab version should our handle graphics package be compatible with? R11, R12, R13, R14? Mathworks has redesigned their handle graphics package, from R13 to R14. Should we strive for R11 or R13 compatibility ?lets go for the version w/o the "group" objects.
Groups are the most helpful aspect of the handle graphics to me, and for my purposes (most of my plots get turned into svg before going to eps for final printout), groups make later editing significantly easier (I can group together sets of lines and then modify them together in inkscape.
