[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #50511] colororder property seems to be reset on plot

[Andrei Kramer]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #50511 (project octave):

So, are you saying that it is alright that set(gca,"colororder",CO) never does
anything unless the defaults are changed or the "NextPlot" property is set to
"replacechildren", and only then? 

So, you are ok with this


set(0,"defaultlinelinewidth",4);
plot([0,1],[1:4]'*[1,1],";;");
set(gca,'colororder',gray(4));
set(gca,'xtick',[0,1]);



get(gca,'colororder')
ans =
                                                                              
                                                                              
                          
   0.00000   0.00000   0.00000                                                
                                                                              
                          
   0.33333   0.33333   0.33333                                                
                                                                              
                          
   0.66667   0.66667   0.66667                                                
                                                                              
                          
   1.00000   1.00000   1.00000                                                
                                                                              
                          


producing a plot with the _default_ colororder (see attached picture). So, the
get property gets the misleading gray() colororder, which doesn't reflect the
actual graphic. 

Note how set xtick worked as expected, but the colororder property did not. If
this is the expected behaviour, then your expectation is incorrect. Some
consistency should apply with these settings. 

I will include an updated testcase and results.
