In R2014a, you get:


>> findobj (h, 'type', 'axes', '-flat')
Error using findobj
Incomplete property-value pair.


and in R2014b, you get:


>> findobj (h, 'type', 'axes', '-flat')
Error using findobj
'-flat' is not a valid option to findobj.

Ping! Can you test the example in comment #1 and post the results?

I think Octave attempted to follow Matlab's documentation which suggests that the '-depth' argument must appear first.

In any case, does this also apply to -flat in Matlab?

Is this legal?


hax = gca;
findobj (h, 'type', 'axes', '-flat')

It seems that in the Octave implementation of findobj, the "-depth" (or "flat") argument has to appear before the list of property param-value pairs, while it can be anywhere in MATLAB.
For example, you can find the following syntax in MATLAB:

findobj(h,'type','axes','-depth',0)
