See
https://octave.di ... ith-octave/7078/2

I attached the fig file here (file WatCont.fig.zst)

I think hgload should try to load as much data as they can decipher from broken/incompatible fig files, and give warning for data/properties it cannot read (instead of just error out).

After that, openfig should try to recreate the figure by replacing missing properties/values with defaults.

Dmitri.
