Hello all,

Just wondering what is the normal way to save graphics nowadays.
I just had a look at 'help xsave' to see whether it is deprecated or 
whether this is the official way to do it.

This page reads:

"For graphics xsave(file_name,win_num) use preferably 
save(file_name,scf(win_num))."



This indication is clearly outdated, since save() now processes only 
named variables: expressions like "scf(win_num)" are no longer accepted 
.


I agree that the motivation for using xsave() instead of save is quite 
obscur.
Maybe there were some good reasons to implement a specific function (or 
may be not),

but today xsave(filename, idf) appears to be only a shortcut for

idf = findobj("figure_id",idf);
save(filename, "idf")
clear idf

Is it really worth having a specific public function, instead for 
instance of opening the overload for save(filemane, figure_handle) ?



Hmm, I don't get it.
Does it mean that I should better use "save(file_name,scf(win_num))" 
for graphics objects?

If it's the case, what is the point of xsave?

I'm a bit lost...



If you do not think it's worth keeping xsave, please do not hesitate 
asking on bugzilla for obsoleting it and opening save() to overloading 
according to it's 2nd argument.


Regards
Samuel
