Follow-up Comment #5, bug #49400 (project octave):
Posted to the mailing list but not the bug tracker:
Hi Pantxo,
Thanks for the explanation. The MATLAB behaviour seems strange to me,
but I see that doing the same in Octave is the right choice from a
compatibility point of view.
However, plot() ignoring a default box "off" is quite surprising for the
user. The way I discovered it was that
figure()
plot(1:10)
and
figure()
hold on
plot(1:10)
hold off
produced different results.
Would you mind adding a note to the help of plot() that tells the user
about this feature? Some users will not even be aware of the "box"
property, so mentioning it enables those users to get consistent plot
appearance.
