[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #52641] Changing legend "displayname" property to empty string "" leads to printing an error

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #52641 (project octave):

I tried something like the following:


function updatename (h, ~, hlegend)

  ## When string changes, have to rebuild legend completely
  [hplots, text_strings] = __getlegenddata__ (hlegend);
  ## FIXME: See bug #52641.  Changing an existing legend string to a blank
  ##        can trigger this.
  if (! isempty (hplots))
    legend (get (hplots(1), "parent"), hplots, text_strings);
  else
    curstr = get (hlegend, 'string');
    curstr(:) = {''}
    set (hlegend, 'string', curstr);
  endif

endfunction


but it still produces an error, and the reasons seems to be something about
not finding objects that can be labeled in a legend (but this shouldn't be the
case, it should know there is still something present, i.e., lines)


warning: legend: plot data is empty; setting key labels has no effect
warning: called from
    legend at line 378 column 9
    legend>updatelegend at line 1081 column 9
    legend>updatename at line 1247 column 5
arg = 
error: kids(0): subscripts must be either integers 1 to (2^63)-1 or logicals
execution error in graphics callback function


This one looks like tricky loop-back strangeness.
