Comment:

 Here's the problem - we can't rely on tags because they may be over
 written by higher-level packages or individuals. We can set "I am a graph"
 into the plotdata (i.e. function which stores information in the handles
 of the plots) and retrieve it using handles later. This is good, however
 to make the plot we used to use ixf_get_related_handles... which now we
 can't until we set the handles up first. So the question to be
 investigated: is gcf and gca legitimate to get the plotted axes, figure
 (and gco for the plot?) or could it, in theory, be foiled by some sort of
 change of current axes of figure (will pcolor put colorbar and make that
 the current axes / plot). But what else can we do that's any different to
 the way we used to work out handles?
