## @deftypefn {} {@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}
