Average plot of data in a figure

Plot the mean of a figure without knowing original data

Description

Plot the mean of a figure (average on parameter), without knowing original data. The lines in the figure may have different x values.

Use: meanplot(n) or meanplot(gcf), where n is the figure number.

There is no help at all on how to use this. Nor even anything that describes what to expect. Does it plot the overall data mean in each dimension? What if it is a 3d plot? Does it plot a single point, or as a pair of lines? What if the user does not supply a figure number? Does it use gcf? All of these are questions that the user should not need to edit the file to resolve.

It may be of some interest, but it crashed when I tried it on a very simple plot.

>> plot(rand(100,1),'o')
>> meanplot(gcf)

I beleive John just forgot to put rating=1 in his comment. IMHO any file without help section ought to be deleted regardles if it works or not
