## Find graphics object with specified property values.
##
## The simplest form is
##
## @example
## findobj (@var{prop_name}, @var{prop_value})
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## which returns the handles of all objects which have a property named
## @var{prop_name} that has the value @var{prop_value}.  If multiple
## property/value pairs are specified then only objects meeting all of the
## conditions are returned.
##
## The search can be limited to a particular set of objects and their
## descendants, by passing a handle or set of handles @var{hlist} as the first
## argument.
##
## The depth of the object hierarchy to search can be limited with the "-depth"
## argument.  An example of searching only three generations of children is:
##
## @example
## findobj (@var{hlist}, "-depth", @var{d}, @var{prop_name}, @var{prop_value})
## @end example
##
## Specifying a depth @var{d} of 0, limits the search to the set of objects
## passed in @var{hlist}.  A depth @var{d} of 0 is equivalent to the "flat"
## argument.
##
## A specified logical operator may be applied to the pairs of @var{prop_name}
## and @var{prop_value}.  The supported logical operators are: "-and", "-or",
## "-xor", "-not".
##
## Objects may also be matched by comparing a regular expression to the
## property values, where property values that match
## @code{regexp (@var{prop_value}, @var{pattern})} are returned.
##
## Finally, objects may be matched by property name only by using the
## "-property" option.
##
## Implementation Note: The search only includes objects with visible
## handles ("HandleVisibility" = "on").  @xref{XREFfindall,,findall}, to
## search for all objects including hidden ones.
## @seealso{findall, allchild, get, set}
