## @deftypefn {Function File} {@var{h} =} allchild (@var{handles})
## Find all children, including hidden children, of a graphics object.
##
## This function is similar to @code{get (h, "children")}, but also
## returns hidden objects.  If @var{handles} is a scalar,
## @var{h} will be a vector.  Otherwise, @var{h} will be a cell matrix
## of the same size as @var{handles} and each cell will contain a
## vector of handles.
## @seealso{get, set, findall, findobj}
## @end deftypefn
