what about

plot/drawing  : Actual plotting functions such as plot, surf, etc.

plot/annotation : Annotation commands like title, other functions for
controlling appearance such as xlim, pbaspect, 

plot/annotation : all other functions which don't fit in plotfn such as gca, 
findobj, print, or meshgrid.
