I don't see any C++ in this patch.

I think a test like

  floor(varargin{1}(1)) != varargin{1}(1))

depends too much on the current implementation of figure handles.
Maybe it would be better to use "! isfigure (varargin{1}(1))" instead?

Unless you can provide a better diagnostic, I think this should just
be a call to print_usage.
