[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #44670] hgload can't open Matlab figures

[Guillaume]

Follow-up Comment #24, bug #44670 (project octave):

Thanks John and Rik for pushing and cleaning the new functions.

Concerning open.m, *.fig files will now automatically be opened with openfig.m
so no need to have specific code for it. For *.ofig, we can either have an
openofig.m wrapper around openfig.m (as suggested by Pantxo in comment #18),
or leave it explicitly as it currently is. I attach relevant changes to
open.m

I also attach a number of changes to struct2hdl.m that implement the
following:
* Figures are created invisible and set to visible at the end if required.
This prevents flickering for invisible figures and allows for a faster load
(as one doesn't see each element created one at a time).
* The integerhandle property is used while creating a figure instead of being
set afterwards. This prevents the figure handle to change, see bug #53342.
* Support for ui* objects.
* The other changes provide extra robustness for figures saved in matlab. They
mainly correspond to checking that a given property exists before using it.

There is still a lot more to do, including merging changes from Pantxo in
comment #6, but, with these changes, I observe a good compatibility with
matlab *.fig files so it's an exciting step forward.
