## @deftypefn  {} {} refreshdata ()
## @deftypefnx {} {} refreshdata (@var{h})
## @deftypefnx {} {} refreshdata (@var{h}, @var{workspace})
## Evaluate any @samp{datasource} properties of the current figure and update
## the plot if the corresponding data has changed.
##
## If the first argument @var{h} is a list of graphic handles, then operate
## on these objects rather than the current figure returned by @code{gcf}.
##
## The optional second argument @var{workspace} can take the following values:
##
## @table @asis
## @item @qcode{"base"}
## Evaluate the datasource properties in the base workspace.  (default).
##
## @item @qcode{"caller"}
## Evaluate the datasource properties in the workspace of the function
## that called @code{refreshdata}.
## @end table
##
## An example of the use of @code{refreshdata} is:
##
## @example
## @group
## x = 0:0.1:10;
## y = sin (x);
## plot (x, y, "ydatasource", "y");
## for i = 1 : 100
##   pause (0.1);
##   y = sin (x + 0.1*i);
##   refreshdata ();
## endfor
## @end group
## @end example
## @end deftypefn
