## @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 (HandleVisibility = @qcode{"off"}).  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{findall, findobj, get, set}
## @end deftypefn
