## @deftypefn  {Command} {} close
## @deftypefnx {Command} {} close (@var{h})
## @deftypefnx {Command} {} close all
## @deftypefnx {Command} {} close all hidden
## Close figure window(s).
##
## When called with no arguments, close the current figure.  This is equivalent
## to @code{close (gcf)}.  If the input @var{h} is a graphic handle, or vector
## of graphics handles, then close each figure in @var{h}.
##
## If the argument @qcode{"all"} is given then all figures with visible handles
## (HandleVisibility = @qcode{"on"}) are closed.
##
## If the argument @qcode{"all hidden"} is given then all figures, including
## hidden ones, are closed.
##
## Implementation Note: @code{close} operates by calling the function specified
## by the @qcode{"closerequestfcn"} property for each figure.  By default, the
## function @code{closereq} is used.  It is possible that the function invoked
## will delay or abort removing the figure.  To remove a figure without
## executing any callback functions use @code{delete}.  When writing a callback
## function to close a window do not use @code{close} to avoid recursion.
