[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #52412] Manual axes ticks should emit error if values are not increasing

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #52412 (project octave):

The attached patch adds a new type of "special_constraints" to graphics
properties (only row vector properties for now). I don't really like the name.
But it pretty much describes what it can be used for: Adding constraints to
properties that need "some special" check.
For now it adds the constraint "ENFORCE_ASCENDING" to the [xyz]tick and
[xyz]lim properties of axes.
It can also be used to add other constraints in the future: e.g. the
"position" (and related) properties should allow only non-negative values in
the third and fourth element while there should be no such limitation on the
first and second element...

I am not sure whether it makes sense to also integrate the (mutually
exclusive) "finite_constraints" into these new (accumulative)
"special_constraints".

I didn't find any properties that must be strictly decreasing. I just added
that case to check whether the enumeration works as expected. If you think it
is better to remove that case from the patch, I don't mind at all.
