Here is a scenario. You have a large number of figures open. Say each figure has a "main" axes showing some line plots, and also some "other" axes, like a legend, annotation, etc. So
figs=get(0,'children');
axss=get(figs,'children');
returns a vector of cell arrays. axss{k} contains all the children of figs(k), only one of which is the "main" axis you need to work with. So what is the best way to filter out the rest? Looking at
you may find that many of the objects have type axes. Is there a quick way to distinguish what is not annotation?
